Rennes coach Bruno Genesio has slammed Leicester City for the way they left the away dressing room on Thursday night.
The Foxes sealed their place in the Europa Conference League quarter final after seeing off Rennes 3-2 over the course of two legs. Wesley Fofana's second half goal in his first match since returning from injury, cancelled out Benjamin Bourigeaud's opening goal to ensure smooth progression for Leicester.
However, the Foxes did not depart France on good terms as they have been absolutely slammed by the Ligue 1 outfit, after they left the dressing room in a “state". Rennes boss Bruno Genesio also got in on the condemnation, describing their behaviour as “unworthy".
"It is unworthy of a club that has been champion of England, I find it totally lamentable," Genesio said to Ouest France. "I think we saw that once in Rennes and I think it was already an English club.
“The image of a club is on the pitch but also in the way you leave an opposing club. I can tell you that at Stade Rennes, we always make sure to leave a clean locker room."
Pictures of huge piles of rubbish on the table, the floor, and the benches were posted by a Rennes archivist on Twitter. Albeit with more restraint, Rennes' chairman Jacques Delanoe also highlighted his surprise at the condition of the away dressing room. While he admitted he was “surprised" by the amount of rubbish left behind and the “lack of good manners" by the Premier League giants, Delanoe still appreciated the hospitality Leicester gave his side.
"It was very went well, they received us well in Leicester and we received them well in Rennes," the chairman said to the French outlet.
