Bruno Genesio navigates OM’s turbulent summer of rebuilding | OneFootball

Bruno Genesio has arrived at Olympique de Marseille facing upheaval on and off the pitch, and he and his staff hope quick results will soothe local impatience.

According to L'Équipe, the squad has been overhauled, objectives still need clarifying and the sporting administration must be rebuilt, leaving Genesio and his team not quite starting from zero but close.

The mood contrasts with August 2025, when at Roazhon Park in Rennes, director of football Medhi Benatia said they would have a fine year and enjoy themselves. He spoke of a step in mentality, double cover in positions, and targets of the Ligue 1 podium, the Coupe de France and an interesting Champions League run.

At Marignane airport, new arrivals were introduced on a dedicated stage.

On the Prado beaches, partygoers even mimicked an ecstatic Roberto de Zerbi, chanting a who are we, OM refrain.
