Haise sets a record: 17 Europa League games without a win

Franck Haise, coach of Stade Rennais, has collected a rare and unwanted record in the Europa League. As reported by L'Équipe, the 0-0 draw secured by Rennes away at Sturm Graz again left his team without a win—and this time elevated Haise as the manager with the most Europa League matches played without ever tasting victory.

The figure is straightforward: 17 straight Europa League games for Haise in which he has not won. In this specific case, the goalless draw versus the Austrian side was enough to keep him at the top of that unique (and negative) leaderboard.

A record that stands out

That scoreline doesn’t just point to how hard it is for Rennes to turn close matches into wins on the road—it also spotlights Haise in a piece of Europa League trivia that will be difficult to ignore.

From here, the big question is whether Rennes can finally flip some of those drawn games into victories and end the run. For now, the pattern remains: they can grind out results, but they still don’t win—and Haise is the coach most strongly linked to that statistic in the competition.
