Source report

Olympique de Marseille's revamped squad, now under the guidance of head coach Bruno Genesio, continues its preseason preparations this Thursday with a friendly against Nîmes Olympique, a National 1 side. Following a heavy defeat to Nice in their last outing, the Marseille side will look to improve with just three weeks remaining before the start of the Ligue 1 season.

Preseason Progress

Three weeks before their league opener against Strasbourg on August 21, Bruno Genesio will use this match to further develop the team's cohesion. The fixture against Nîmes Olympique (N1, fourth division) will take place at the Robert-Louis-Dreyfus training center and marks OM's third preseason friendly.

Appointed during the summer, the coach is still working to resolve tactical issues and is awaiting transfer market developments. In their first two outings, this new-look OM has recorded one win and one loss. Genesio's men suffered a heavy defeat last Saturday against Nice (0-3) in a poorly managed all-Ligue 1 friendly. They had started positively a few days earlier with a 3-0 win against Yamoussoukro in Ivory Coast.
