Olympique de Marseille appoints Bruno Genesio as head coach

Olympique de Marseille have officially named Bruno Genesio, 59, as the club’s new head coach, replacing Habib Beye. The appointment comes amid strict DNCG financial controls that force the club to sell players, but Genesio has pledged to limit departures and keep a stable core squad to pursue Champions League qualification.

Within days of his arrival, Genesio has already identified a promising youth player from the club’s academy, signaling a focus on home‑grown talent to complement the constrained transfer market. He emphasised the need for disciplined recruitment while respecting the club’s budgetary limits.
