Seko Fofana and Brice Samba have reportedly fallen out with Rennes coach Habib Beye, adding to growing tension after a poor start to the season.

Journalist Daniel Riolo revealed on RMC that the two senior players have expressed strong dissatisfaction with Beye’s coaching approach.

According to Riolo, they have even started working behind the scenes to push for his exit.

“These two decided they don’t want him anymore. After the draw against Lens, Samba reportedly criticised Beye in front of teammates, saying he isn’t the right man for the job,” Riolo explained.

Rennes appointed Beye hoping he would bring new ideas and improve results, but early performances have failed to meet expectations.

The disappointing run has created frustration inside the dressing room and among supporters.

Fofana and Samba’s reported actions show significant divisions within the squad.

Both players hold leadership roles and have strong influence, so their dissatisfaction could deepen the crisis if not resolved quickly.

The tension also raises questions about Beye’s authority and his relationship with key players.

If communication continues to break down, the situation could become difficult to manage.

Rennes have not officially commented on the situation, but the reported unrest puts extra pressure on Beye to turn results around.

He must now rebuild trust within the squad while trying to deliver consistent performances on the pitch.

The club’s next matches will be crucial in shaping Beye’s future. Continued poor results or further dressing room conflict could increase calls for change.

For now, all eyes remain on how the coach handles the situation and whether he can reunite a divided team.
