Habib Beye has taken over as the head coach of Olympique de Marseille (OM) following the departure of Roberto De Zerbi, with his first match set against Brest on Friday evening. Beye, who previously played and captained OM from 2003 to 2007, is under immense pressure to revitalize a team that is currently in crisis. His young coaching experience will be keenly tested as fans and players alike look to him for leadership.

Having been recently dismissed from his position at Rennes, Beye aims to calmly navigate the challenges facing OM, including team morale and communication. His familiarity with the club's culture and his passion for the team are seen as vital assets as he embarks on this new chapter in his career. The expectations are high as supporters hope for a return to form and stability under his management.

This transition marks a significant moment for both Beye and the club, and should he succeed, it could pave the way for a more stable and successful future for OM. The upcoming match against Brest will not only test Beye's strategies as a new coach but could also be a turning point for OM's season, making this debut one of great significance for the club's ambitions in the league.
