Bruno Genesio’s frustration deepened after Marseille’s 1-2 defeat to PSG, with the coach wanting owner Frank McCourt to speak. According to L'Équipe, McCourt has no intention of addressing the club’s situation.

Sunday’s loss was Marseille’s fifth in succession, and again the post-match focus turned to Genesio’s frame of mind.

In August he had already muddied his future when he pushed to keep winger Igor Paixao, while McCourt sought to sell as he tightened budgets.

After Rennes 0-1 on 11 September, Genesio again pointed towards the economic squeeze, suggesting matters should be explained more clearly and that it is not his role to do so.

He has looked wounded by setbacks before, and it may not be the last time, since he has ruled out resigning.

After the PSG game he paced outside his dressing room, still angered by how PSG reclaimed the lead after Marseille’s equaliser.
