While Marcelino’s situation is very uncertain, the name of the Senegalese technician has gained weight in the OM environment in recent hours.
The crazy day of this Tuesday, September 19 was a reminder, if necessary, that everything flares up more quickly in Marseille than elsewhere. Tension had started to rise the day before, during a very lively meeting between OM management and a fringe of supporters demanding radical changes in the organization chart. L’Équipe then announced that Marcelino had communicated to his players his desire to leave his position. Although denied by those around the Spanish technician, everything suggests that Olympique de Marseille could have a new coach in the medium term.
While OM faces a very busy schedule in the coming weeks, Pablo Longoria is necessarily scrutinizing the coaching market, despite his friendship with Marcelino. A name could quickly emerge among the profiles studied: Habib Beye. Unlike the French Christophe Galtier and Laurent Blanc or the foreigners Julen Lopetegui and Hansi Flick, the Senegalese is not officially on the market since he is under contract with Red Star. But his work on the bench of the Ile-de-France club was very noticed.
Beye, a name that fans like
According to information from Foot Mercato, the profile of the 45-year-old technician “is attracting attention”. Certainly seduced by the idea of returning to his favorite club, Habib Beye would have real credibility with the supporters if we rely on the numerous praises he has received on social networks over the past 24 hours. Beye, who played in Marseille between 2003 and 2007 during his first life as a footballer, has always proclaimed his attachment to the Marseille club. His popularity rating in Marseille is excellent. His skills also arouse curiosity after his very successful stint in the media world before the start of his career as a coach considered promising. It remains to be seen whether Pablo Longoria can take the plunge by appointing such an inexperienced technician at the highest level.
