Nigeria’s Éric Chelle offered amid Marseille manager search | OneFootball

There are now three names seemingly in the running to succeed Roberto De Zerbi as manager of Olympique de Marseille, as per a report from L’Équipe.

De Zerbi’s fate was decided in the early hours of Wednesday morning, with the Italian’s 18-month stint at OM coming to an end by mutual consent. He leaves the club fourth in Ligue 1 and still in the Coupe de France, although a 3-0 defeat against Club Brugge put an abrupt end to their UEFA Champions League campaign. 

Habib Beye and Sergio Conceicao are two names being considered by Marseille, whilst L’Équipe understands that Éric Chelle is also in the mix. The Malian national, who played professionally in France, has been offered to OM, the publication understands. 

He most recently lead Nigeria to a third-place finish at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), beating Egypt on penalties in the third-place play-off, following their elimination at the hands of Morocco, also on penalties.
