Arriving on the Stade Rennais bench on January 30, 2025, Habib Beye was dismissed a short year later. Dismissed on February 9 after a series of three defeats and a draw in the league, the coach did not take much time before finding a job. Taking advantage of the fact that Roberto De Zerbi experienced the same fate as him at the same time on the OM side, Beye recovered the place.
Officially appointed on February 18 after signing a year and a half contract, the native of Suresnes did not wait long before leading his new team in Ligue 1. Friday evening, he was therefore in charge for the match of the twentieth day lost against Stade Brestois (2-0). Enough to achieve a first record before a much less glorious second during the defeat at Francis-Le Blé.
Between his last match with Rennes and that of Friday with Marseille, Habib Beye only waited thirteen days. Never has a Ligue 1 coach achieved such a rapid succession from one club to another. Until then, it was Angel Marcos who held this famous record with a seventeen-day gap between the moment he left FC Lorient for FC Nantes.
Habib Beye ahead of Angel Marcos and Rolland Courbis
In this ranking, Rolland Courbis comes third, far behind the leading duo, with a thirty-five day gap. The fourth is none other than the one who succeeded Beye on the Rennes bench: Franck Haise. The former OGC Nice player waited seventy days to find a job.
Habib Beye therefore did not have time to think between his last two experiences. Now coach of OM, his primary mission is to lead his team towards qualification for the next Champions League, without forgetting the Coupe de France in which his players will compete in the quarter-finals on March 4 against Toulouse (9 p.m.).
