Bruno Genesio concedes difficult spell as Marseille slide to fourth straight defeat | OneFootball

Olympique de Marseille were beaten 4-1 by Besiktas in Türkiye on Thursday, a fourth straight defeat in all competitions and a losing start to their UEFA Europa League campaign.

A 4-0 opening-day win over RC Strasbourg Alsace now feels distant, with league losses following against AS Monaco, Paris FC and Stade Rennais. GetFootballNewsFrance.com reports that financial strain has decimated the squad, obliging Bruno Genesio to turn to academy players and reintegrate those previously deemed surplus.

The overall quality and depth have been compromised, which is showing in the team’s performances. “What is difficult is that the matches all look the same. At one point of the game, we throw the tactics out of the window,” said the former Lille OSC, Stade Rennais, and Olympique Lyonnais manager.

Genesio admitted, “These aren’t the best moments of my career, that is for sure.” He added, “It may take some time to rediscover the OM that we all want.”

Marseille next face Paris Saint-Germain in Le Classique on Sunday.
