Barely dismissed by Stade Rennais after a complicated spell, Habib Beye bounced back almost instantly with Olympique de Marseille. A completely unexpected scenario for Johan Micoud.
According to the L’Équipe channel pundit, Beye is the real lottery winner in this story. Micoud did not mince his words, believing that the former Rennes coach has absolutely nothing to lose — and everything to gain.
A Huge Opportunity at Marseille
“It’s an exceptional opportunity for him, considering his career path. He had one or two very good seasons at Red Star, they were promoted, and then he stopped. He was looking for a Ligue 1 club, he went to Rennes, where things went more or less well. It wasn’t necessarily a failure; there were good periods. In the end, he was sacked by the club, and 15 days later, you find OM.”
“It’s still exceptional! For me, he’s the lottery winner. You arrive there, and if things go badly, people will say it’s like the other coaches and he’ll bounce back elsewhere. And if it goes well, it’s all upside for him.” For Micoud, the new Marseille coach is playing without real pressure: either he delivers and makes a big impact, or he moves on to another opportunity. Either way, the chance is enormous.
