Overview
- The club announced it had ended its collaboration with Habib Beye, who was appointed in mid-February and left after four months following a fifth-place finish and a quarter-final cup exit, a decision made public on Tuesday.
- Hours later the club named Bruno Genesio as head coach on a two-year deal through June 2028, with the appointment confirmed by Marseille on Wednesday.
- Reports say negotiations with Beye were tense and the club unilaterally terminated his contract, a step taken to speed the coaching change before the new president took office.
- Genesio arrives with a planned four-person backroom staff and will begin work immediately to shape the squad for pre-season and the summer transfer window despite UEFA and DNCG restrictions on transfers and wages.
- The hires complete an early reset under new president Stéphane Richard and sporting director Grégory Lorenzi and set expectations for an OM side that will play in the Europa League next season and face a constrained mercato.
