Marseille finalise Habib Beye’s backroom staff ahead of Lyon clash | OneFootball

Olympique de Marseille have received administrative approval for Habib Beye’s three assistant coaches to officially begin work, according to RMC Sport.

Sébastien Bichard, Yann Cavezza and Olivier Saragaglia signed their contracts on Wednesday evening and are now authorised to work with the first team. The trio have joined Marseille at their mid-season training camp in Marbella and will be present on the bench for Sunday’s Olympico against Lyon.

Beye had been awaiting final clearance for his preferred staff, with the delay preventing the full implementation of his technical structure. Les Phocéens face two vital games coming up which could switch the balance of their season: a vital clash against Lyon with Champions League qualification on the line, before a Coupe de France quarter-final clash against Toulouse next week. All three of his assistants were present at Stade Rennais, and were waiting for their contracts to be terminated with their former club before joining up with Beye at Marseille. Cavezza and Bichard were present at Red Star FC with Beye from 2022-2024, before the latter oversaw a challenging campaign as manager of Clermont in Ligue 2.
