Managerial Change at Marseille
Olympique de Marseille have officially announced Bruno Genesio as their new manager, following the dismissal of Habib Beye earlier in the week. Beye, who had assumed the head coach position in February after Roberto De Zerbi’s tenure, was tasked with achieving UEFA Champions League qualification and leading the team to the Coupe de France semi-finals. Falling short in both objectives ultimately resulted in the termination of his role.

Genesio’s Recent Track Record
Genesio, who departed Lille at the conclusion of the season, had successfully steered the French side back into the UEFA Champions League. Despite this achievement, his contract concluded at season’s end and was not extended, amid previously reported friction between himself and club president Olivier Létang. When questioned about his future with Lille, Genesio had expressed a negative outlook, indicating no discussions were being held for an extension.
Appointment at the Vélodrome
The former Olympique Lyonnais manager has swiftly returned to management with his move to Marseille. Responding to his appointment, Genesio commented: “I chose Marseille because I was seduced by the challenge that was presented to me. OM is a unique club, with exceptional history, a strong identity, and with fans whose passion is known well beyond our borders.” Details regarding the length of Genesio’s contract have not yet been made public, although reports suggest an agreement lasting until 2028.
