The story between Olympique de Marseille and Habib Beye already seems to be heading towards a separation. Arriving urgently in February to succeed Roberto De Zerbi, the Olympian technician failed to keep OM in the top 4 of Ligue 1, the club’s priority objective in order to qualify for the next Champions League. A setback that goes badly internally.
In this context, the future of the former Red Star coach appears increasingly unclear. Behind the scenes, the Marseille leaders have already launched their reflection to find a successor, with the profiles of Christophe Galtier and Bruno Genesio studied in particular.
The subject of the future OM coach also animated the debates Thursday evening on the set of the show Generation After. Consultant for RMC, Walid Acherchour proposed two new avenues for the Marseille bench.
Regragui, the track of Walid Acherchour
“My dream for Olympique de Marseille is to see Unai Emery in a Europa League season too. It’s impossible. I have a short list: Ernesto Valverde from Bilbao who we knew at Barça. You can’t just go to Genesio. When you’re trying to explore a coaching option, you need to have several options. There is another one, it’s Walid Regragui”he explained.
Free since his departure from the Moroccan selection, Walid Regragui ticks several criteria sought by the Olympian management, in particular his mastery of French, while OM would favor the option of a French-speaking coach. It now remains to be seen which profile the Marseille leaders will ultimately turn to to open a new chapter on the Marseille bench.
