(Reuters) - Julien Stephan has resigned as Stade Rennais manager after a nine-year association with the club, the French top-flight side said in a statement on Monday.

Rennes are ninth in the Ligue 1 standings with 38 points from 26 games so far. Stephan's last game in charge was a 2-1 defeat by OGC Nice on Friday, which extended Rennes' winless run in the league to six matches.
