It began with a 4-0 win over RC Strasbourg Alsace at the Vélodrome in August. Since then, Genesio’s side have failed to take a point. Sunday night’s Le Classique defeat to Paris Saint-Germain was their fifth straight loss in all competitions.

For the first time in the club’s history, Marseille have lost four of their first five Ligue 1 matches. By losing five of their first six in all competitions, they have also set another unwanted mark.

Genesio is only the second OM manager, after Willy Kohut-André Gascard in 1938, to open with four defeats in his first five Ligue 1 games. He is the first to lose five of his first six in all competitions.
