🚨 Official: Habib Beye named new Marseille manager! | OneFootball

Back on the Canebière!

Several days after the departure of Roberto De Zerbi, Olympique de Marseille has finally found its new coach!

Rumored just a few hours after the end of the Italian’s stint with the Marseille club, the arrival of Habib Beye on the OM bench was made official this Wednesday evening.

A former Marseille player between 2003 and 2007, the Senegalese international wore the club’s colors 174 times as a player.

Dismissed from his coaching position at Stade Rennais last week after a series of poor results and disagreements with key members of his squad, Beye is about to experience the most important challenge of his new and young coaching career.

The objective for the former Red Star coach is simple: win the Coupe de France and secure a podium finish in Ligue 1, while also trying to win quickly in order to put the recent tensions between Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia in the background.

The 48-year-old coach has signed a contract until 2027, according to information from RMC Sport.
