Total storm in Marseille. Between a wave of departures and failed negotiations, OM is navigating blindly and must decide quickly to avoid a full-blown crisis. Latest twist: the Habib Beye track has collapsed, and Eric Chelle is now back strongly in the race.
OM is right in the eye of the cyclone. No head coach, no sporting director. Medhi Benatia and Roberto De Zerbi have both walked away. While a meeting was supposed to confirm Beye’s arrival, the deal is now nearly off, as Beye wanted to come with Benatia in charge.
Coaching Search Accelerates at Marseille
Talks have cooled down, forcing the club’s management to urgently rethink its plans. Beye’s condition of working alongside Benatia ultimately blocked the process and closed the door on the move.
As a result, Eric Chelle has returned to the forefront. Already approached in recent weeks, the national team coach is once again being seriously considered internally. His profile is appealing because of his ability to take over a squad under pressure and quickly rebuild momentum, and his interest in the job is clear.
Meanwhile, the option of extending Jacques Abardonado’s interim spell remains on the table to buy a few more days. A decision is imminent, and the next few hours are expected to be heated in Marseille.
