• Rennes appoints Franck Haise as head coach with big expectations for “Al-Tamari”

Rennes has drawn widespread attention in Jordan since Musa Al-Tamari joined the squad. The French club officially announced the appointment of Franck Haise as the new first-team coach, a move aimed at reshaping the team’s strategy for a push toward European qualification. The decision has generated keen interest in Jordanian sports circles due to Al-Tamari’s presence in the squad.

The club confirmed on its website that Haise signed a contract until 2027, replacing Senegalese coach Habib Bay, who was dismissed last week following disappointing results.

Haise brings an impressive track record, having previously led Lens to a runner-up finish in Ligue 1 and qualification for the Champions League group stage in 2023-2024, before a brief stint at Nice that ended in December.

He takes charge of Rennes currently sixth in Ligue 1 with 34 points from 22 matches, tasked with closing the gap on the top-four spots in the coming fixtures.

Al-Tamari Under Haise’s Spotlight

Jordanian fans are closely watching how Haise will utilize Musa Al-Tamari, one of Rennes’ key attacking players. Haise’s style emphasizes speed and rapid offensive transitions, perfectly suited to Al-Tamari’s abilities on the wings.

Fans hope the coaching change will give Al-Tamari more creative freedom and help him regain his scoring form, as Haise is known for developing attacking wingers during his successful spell at Lens.

Local Support and Anticipation

Rennes has become a major focus for Jordanian fans since Al-Tamari’s transfer, with each match drawing significant attention.

Haise is expected to start immediately, with the next match serving as the first test of his ability to integrate his tactics with the team, particularly around “Jordan’s Messi.”
