Olympique de Marseille announced on Tuesday the end of its collaboration with Habib Beye, its coach since February. This decision comes after a disappointing season for the Phocaeans, who finished 5th in the championship with 59 points, 17 points behind leaders Paris Saint Germain.

What happened?

Habib Beye had replaced Roberto De Zerbi in mid-February, but he did not meet the sports objectives set by the Marseillais club. The OM was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the French Cup by Toulouse and finished with a goal difference of +18, having scored 63 goals and conceded 45.

Why is this important for Olympique de Marseille?

The departure of Habib Beye could allow the arrival of Bruno Genesio on the Marseillais bench, who left Lille at the end of last season. This nomination could be a turning point for the OM, which is looking to strengthen itself for the next season.

What comes next?

The OM must now focus on the next season and find a new coach to lead the team to victory. With a talented team and a good base, the OM could aim for a Champions League spot next season. Currently, the OM is in 5th position in Ligue 1, with a recent form of WWLDL.
