OM : L’humiliation ultime pour Habib Beye ?
Having come to OM to fulfill his biggest dream, Habib Beye is experiencing a nightmarish end to the 2025-2026 season. Against Le Havre and Rennes, the Marseille coach could lose absolutely everything. Starting with his honor.
Skilled with words in front of the Canal+ cameras when he was their star pundit, Habib Beye is far less adept on the Marseille bench. Having been in contention for a Champions League spot when he arrived in the south in February 2026, the Marseille club is now on the brink of disaster, as Mason Greenwood and his teammates are no longer even in European competition. With two matchdays remaining in the 2025-2026 season, OM still has to face Le Havre (May 10th, 9 pm) and Rennes (May 17th, 9 pm). Two crucial matches for Habib Beye's future in Marseille.
Beye no longer has the right to make a mistake
Having already suffered six defeats in his first 11 matches as Marseille manager, Habib Beye now faces the daunting task of managing a dressing room on the verge of implosion. His methods are failing to resonate, his management style is causing concern, and his message seems to have no effect on a squad still reeling from Roberto De Zerbi's departure. For Beye, the situation is clear: a single misstep in the 37th or 38th matchday will be utter disaster. Both on and off the pitch, OM finds itself in a precarious position. And Beye's responsibility is increasingly being called into question by both Marseille supporters and the club's management.
Rennes is in the lead…
Without Champions League football, OM will struggle to balance their budget. Frank McCourt will have to inject even more capital to keep the club afloat. Europa League qualification would, nevertheless, be a consolation prize, both on and off the pitch. The stakes are high for Habib Beye, who is tasked with leading OM to European competition in 2026-2027. But the humiliation could be absolute for the 47-year-old manager. In the standings, his former team, Rennes, now managed by Franck Haise, has been firing on all cylinders since his departure. Behind OM in February, the Bretons are now ahead, poised to finish in the top five. As luck would have it, the final match of the season will see OM face Rennes at the Stade Vélodrome. For Habib Beye, this will be an opportunity to set the record straight. Beat Rennes to secure European qualification and overtake them in the standings. Or suffer a humiliating defeat at home, enduring the greatest humiliation of his second career…
