Namakoro DIALLO

Namakoro Diallo is a left-back who arrived at the Stade Rennais Academy in 2011, and impressed in all age groups at the club. He was an important component in the Reserve team from 2014, and signed his first professional contract for three seasons on 24th March 2016. Captain of the Reserves, he caught the eye of Gourcuff, and extended his contract until 2021 on 17th March 2017. After just one senior appearance in the First Team, a 0-7 hammering at Monaco at the end of 2016, had experiences two seasons of frustration, plagued by injuries. Back to fitness at the beginning of the 2019/2020 season, he was loaned to Avranches in National (French 3rd Division) on 8th August 2019. Out of contract, Diallo left the club at the end of 2020/2021 season, having made just one solitary (and complicated) appearance for the Red and Blacks.
