Olympique de Marseille has officially announced the dismissal of head coach Habib Beye ahead of the 2026/27 season, ending a brief tenure.

Olympique de Marseille have officially announced the departure of head coach Habib Beye ahead of the 2026/27 season, ending a relatively brief tenure that saw forward Mason Greenwood continue to flourish in Ligue 1.
The Ligue 1 club confirmed the decision in a statement released on their official website on Monday evening.
"Olympique de Marseille announces it is ending its collaboration with Habib Beye. The Club thanks Habib Beye and sends him its best wishes for the rest of his career."
Beye took charge of Marseille earlier this year and oversaw a period during which Greenwood established himself as one of the league's most dangerous attacking players.
Greenwood's Impact at Marseille
The former Manchester United forward has enjoyed an impressive spell in France since leaving Old Trafford. His record at Marseille includes:
- 48 goals in 81 appearances
- A spot in the Ligue 1 Team of the Year for the 2025/26 season
Uncertainty Surrounding Greenwood's Future
The managerial change comes at a particularly intriguing time, given ongoing speculation about Greenwood's own future at the club.
Recent reports have suggested that the 24-year-old could leave Marseille this summer, with clubs from across Europe monitoring his situation.
Greenwood has rebuilt his career impressively since departing Manchester United in 2024. He has become one of Marseille's most influential players and a fan favourite at the Stade Velodrome.
Context: A Summer of Change
Manchester United experienced similar upheaval earlier this year when Ruben Amorim was dismissed in January after just 14 months in charge at Old Trafford — a reminder of how quickly situations can change at the highest level of football.
Marseille must now begin the search for a new manager, while Greenwood waits to discover whether he will remain at the club or embark on another new challenge before the start of the 2026/27 season.
