Overview
- Multiple French outlets reported on Wednesday that Génésio is expected to replace Habib Beye as OM’s coach for the 2026–27 season while a few contractual details remain to be finalised.
- Habib Beye’s interim spell lasted 13 matches and media coverage described his results as insufficient to keep him in charge for the next season.
- Génésio, 59, left Lille after two seasons and brings long Ligue 1 experience from Lyon, Rennes and Lille and a reputation for strong player management.
- The club plans to build its summer project around a leadership trio of Stéphane Richard, sporting director Grégory Lorenzi and Génésio with the stated aim of stabilising the club and pushing to return to the Champions League.
- Next steps to watch are an official confirmation and the signed contract, how the coaching change shapes transfer plans at La Commanderie, and Marseille’s performance in the Europa League as an early test of the new project.
