The director of the Stade Rennais training center was attacked on Saturday by the father of a young player from the reserve team, the Breton club announced on Sunday.
This is a new aggression in the world of amateur football. Saturday, “after the National 3 match (4th division) between Stade Rennais and Stade Brestois, the director of the training center Denis Arnaud was the victim of verbal and physical aggression by the father of a player”, announced the club in a press release.
“Pending an internal investigation, Stade Rennais strongly condemns this unacceptable behavior which is radically opposed to the values of football”, he added, giving “its full support” to its educators.

The attacker is the father of Noah Française, a young player with a professional contract but whose entourage regularly regrets that he is not associated with the professional group, unlike many young Rouge et Noir. Note that the player is the captain of the team.
