OM: the Hakim Malek option appeals for the transition

The Olympique de Marseille bench remains at the center of discussion following the announcement of Roberto De Zerbi’s departure. And among the profiles considered to manage the transition, an unexpected name is circulating: Hakim Malek.

Accustomed to high-pressure situations, the 53-year-old Algerian tactician has built a reputation for thriving in urgent contexts. His stint at FC Martigues caught the eye of many observers: he revived a team that was written off and came agonizingly close to pulling off a seemingly impossible survival just weeks earlier.

A consensus among supporters?

On social media, the trend is quite clear: for a short-term mission, many fans are in favor of his profile. His ability to quickly restore order and instill collective discipline matches exactly what a segment of the fanbase is looking for in this urgent context.

On this shortlist, Marseille is also reportedly monitoring other African coaches like Habib Beye and Éric Chelle, all seen as capable of handling a high-pressure end to the season. Meanwhile, several Ligue 2 clubs continue to keep an eye on the situation of coach Hakim Malek. Stay tuned!
