A dramatic twist could be coming to the Olympique de Marseille bench. After the dismissal of Roberto De Zerbi, the Marseille leadership is exploring several options… and one unexpected name is now circulating: Habib Beye.
Sacked by Rennes at the start of the week, and already set for a return? Habib Beye could be in line for a spectacular jump within Ligue 1. According to Foot Mercato, the 48-year-old coach’s profile is appreciated internally. His direct style, energy, and strict discipline are seen as tools to quickly shake up the locker room.
Other Coaching Options Under Consideration
A former Senegal international and a sharp observer of French football, Beye appears to be a credible — and potentially surprising — option on Marseille’s shortlist. Talks are said to be active behind the scenes. He is not the only candidate, but there are not many available coaches on the market. Names such as Laurent Blanc and Ruben Amorim are also being mentioned.
However, Habib Beye is reportedly the current favorite to replace Roberto De Zerbi on the OM bench. Free since leaving Rennes, the former Marseille captain appeals to club executives thanks to his connection with the club, his knowledge of Ligue 1, and his closeness to Medhi Benatia. According to several sources, an agreement in principle has already been reached on a contract until the end of the season, with an option to extend. An official announcement could come quickly.
