Managerial career
Stéphan immediately decided to become a manager after his short playing career.
On 3 December 2018, Sabri Lamouchi was sacked as manager of Rennes due to poor results. While initially given a role as interim manager, Stéphan was given the permanent role nine days later after a string of victories including against Astana in the UEFA Europa League, qualifying Rennes for their first ever European knockout round.[1]
Stéphan led Rennes to their first trophy in 48 years on 27 April 2019 in the Coupe de France, beating Paris Saint-Germain 6–5 in a penalty shoot-out in the final after drawing 2–2.[2] Rennes again faced Paris Saint-Germain on 3 August 2019 in the Trophée des Champions, but Stéphan failed to repeat their cup achievement as Rennes lost 2–1.[3][4]
Personal life
Stéphan is the son of former France national team assistant manager Guy Stéphan and the brother of Guillaume Stéphan, also a former footballer.[5]
