Habib Beye Secures New Deal at Rennes After Impressive Rescue Mission

The Beye Effect: How a Mid-Season Gamble Paid Off
When Rennes handed Habib Beye the reins in January, even the most optimistic fans were biting their nails. The former Senegal defender, who’d been cutting his teeth as a pundit, was suddenly tasked with rescuing a sinking ship. Fast forward five months, and the 47-year-old has not only secured survival but earned himself a new contract.
From TV Studio to Touchline Beye’s journey back to the dugout reads like a sports movie script. After retiring as a player (with notable stints at Marseille and Newcastle), he transitioned to television analysis - sharpening his tactical eye while explaining the game to audiences. That preparation proved invaluable when Rennes came calling.
The Numbers Don’t Lie Under previous management, Rennes were flirting with the relegation zone, averaging just 1.1 points per game. Enter Beye:
- Improved to 1.4 ppg
- Shored up a leaky defense (goals conceded dropped by 18%)
- Unleashed attacking talent like Terrier and Doué
The board clearly noticed - hence the reported pay bump in his new one-year deal.
What’s Next for Rennes?
With stability secured, Beye now faces arguably tougher challenges:
- Building on this season’s momentum
- Navigating the summer transfer window
- Developing young talents in Rennes’ famed academy
His hybrid background - part modern tactician, part old-school motivator - might just be the perfect blend for this project.
For a club that prides itself on punching above its weight, keeping their surprise package manager makes perfect sense.

Du canapé à la gloire en 5 mois
Qui aurait cru que l’analyste télé préféré des Français allait devenir l’homme providentiel de Rennes ? Beye a fait mentir tous les sceptiques avec une remontada digne d’un film hollywoodien.
Statistiques choc
- 1.4 pts/match : quand les chiffres parlent mieux que les critiques
- Défense +18% : même le Titanic aurait survécu avec ce coaching
Et maintenant, on attend la suite comme un feuilleton Netflix ! #BeyeMagic

Хто б міг подумати? З телевізійної студії прямо на тренерський місток – Хабіб Бейе довів, що його аналітичний розум працює не лише перед камерою!
Цифри говорять самі за себе: зменшення пропущених голів на 18% та більше перемог – це не просто щастя, це майстерність. Тепер у Ренна є свій “рятівник”, і контракт йому цілком заслужений.
А ви як вважаєте – чи зможе Бейе продовжити свій успіх у новому сезоні? 😉

De la télé au terrain : l’ascension improbable de Beye Qui aurait cru qu’un ancien consultant sportif allait sauver Rennes de la relégation ? Habib Beye a transformé un pari risqué en succès retentissant !
Les chiffres parlent d’eux-mêmes
- Moins de buts encaissés
- Plus de points par match
- Les jeunes talents libérés
Beye a prouvé qu’on pouvait être un bon analyste ET un entraîneur compétent. Alors, prêts pour la saison prochaine avec notre “sauveur” ? 😉

Від коментатора до рятівника
Хто б міг подумати, що колишній телекоментатор Хабіб Бейе стане справжнім героєм для Ренна? Здається, його аналітичні здібності на ТБ виявилися настільки ж точними, як і його тренерські рішення!
Цифри не брешуть
1.1 очка за гру до нього vs 1.4 після - це вам не жарти! Навіть наші бабусі на лавках запасних могли б порахувати, що тут щось не так 😄
Що далі? Може, запросимо ще кількох коментаторів тренувати інші команди? Ха-ха! Як вам така ідея?

De comentarista a herói em 5 meses
Quem diria que o Beye, da bancada do estúdio direto para o banco de reservas, iria fazer esse milagre no Rennes? O homem transformou um time afundando em um projeto sólido - e ainda conseguiu aumento salarial!
Estatísticas não mentem (e arrebentam)
- Defesa vazou 18% menos
- Gols como se fossem samba no pé
- E o contrato renovado antes do café esfriar
Será que agora vão chamar ele de ‘Pastor Beye’ por ter salvado o time? 😂
#FicaDica: Se seu time tá mal, contrate um senegalês visionário!

بی بی کا جادو چل گیا!
جنوری میں جب رینز نے حبیب بیئے کو کوچ بنایا، سب کے دانت کھٹے ہو گئے تھے۔ لیکن یہ سینیگالی ہیرو نے ٹیم کو ڈوبنے سے بچا لیا اور اب نئے معاہدے پر دستخط کر چکا ہے۔
ٹی وی سے ٹچ لائن تک بیئے کی کہانی فلمیں بنانے والی ہے۔ کوچ بننے سے پہلے وہ ٹی وی پر تجزیہ کرتا تھا، اور اب اس نے رینز کی قسمت بدل دی!
اعداد بتاتے ہیں اس کے آنے سے پہلے رینز کا دفاع کچھ کا کچھ تھا، لیکن اب گول کم، پوائنٹس زیادہ۔ بورڈ نے دیکھا تو معاہدہ تجدید کر دیا!
اب دیکھنا ہے کہ یہ جادو اگلے سیزن تک چلتا ہے یا نہیں۔ آپ کیا سوچتے ہیں؟

Від телевізійного експерта до героя Ренна
Хто б міг подумати, що Хабіб Бейе, який ще нещодавно коментува матчі зі студії, тепер стане рятівником Ренна? Це як сценарій для кіно – тільки реальність!
Цифри кажуть самі за себе
З ним команда почала набирати більше очок (1.4 за гру проти 1.1!), а захист став на 18% міцнішим. Тепер Бейе отримав новий контракт – і це цілком заслужено!
Що далі? Ловити хвилю успіху та готуватися до нового сезону. Як вам такий поворот? 😉

¡De comentarista a salvador!
Habib Beye pasó de explicar goles en la tele a meterlos en el campo… bueno, casi. 😂 Con Rennes hundiéndose, este exdefensa senegalés agarró el timón como técnico y ¡zas!: subió el promedio de puntos, tapó agujeros defensivos y hasta le dieron contrato nuevo.
Datos que gritan gol:
- Antes: 1.1 puntos por partido (casi en segunda)
- Con Beye: 1.4 y defensa 18% menos permeable 💪
Ahora tiene misión difícil: mantener el ritmo… ¿Podrá seguir sorprendiendo? ¡Ustedes qué dicen! ⚽ #DeAnalistaALeyenda

টিভির পণ্ডিত থেকে রেনেসার নায়ক!
হাবিব বেয়ে যখন জানুয়ারিতে কোচিং শুরু করেছিলেন, সবাই ভেবেছিল এটা একটা বাজি! কিন্তু এই সাবেক সেনেগালি ডিফেন্ডার প্রমাণ করেছেন তিনি শুধু টিভিতে কথা বলতেই ভালো নন। মাত্র ৫ মাসে তিনি দলকে রক্ষা করেই থামেননি, নতুন চুক্তিও পেয়েছেন!
সংখ্যাগুলি কী বলে?
- আগের কোচের সময় ১.১ পয়েন্ট/ম্যাচ
- বেয়ের আমলে ১.৪ পয়েন্ট/ম্যাচ
- গোল খাওয়া কমেছে ১৮%
এখন প্রশ্ন হলো: তার এই জাদুর টাচ কি আসলেই চলবে? নাকি পরের মৌসুমে সবাই ‘আবার টিভিতে ফিরে যাও’ বলবে? 😄 আপনাদের কী মনে হয়?

ٹی وی کا مائیکروفون چھوڑ کر کوچ بن گیا!
ہبیب بائے نے ثابت کیا کہ تجزیہ کاروں کو صرف بات ہی نہیں کرنی آتی، وہ کام بھی کر سکتے ہیں! رینس کی ٹیم کو ریلیگیشن زون سے نکال کر اس نے نئے معاہدے پر دستخط کر لیے۔
اعداد و شمار کی زبان
پچھلے مینیجر کے مقابلے میں ان کے تحت رینس نے 18% کم گول کھوئے اور پوائنٹس اوسط بڑھا لی۔ اب کوچ کی حیثیت سے ان کا مستقبل مزید روشن نظر آ رہا ہے۔
کمیںٹس میں بتائیں، کیا آپ کو لگتا ہے کہ یہ ‘ٹی وی والے’ واقعی فیلڈ پر بھی اچھے ثابت ہوتے ہیں؟
