As Marseille is going through a very complicated period and has slipped to a worrying sixth place in Ligue 1, criticism of Habib Beye is mounting in Marseille. Arriving after Roberto De Zerbi’s departure, the Senegalese coach is struggling to make his mark for now, while the results continue to deteriorate week after week. After the frustrating draw against OGC Nice, the pressure has increased even more before the crucial trip to Nantes this Saturday, where the Marseillais must imperatively react in order not to see their European ambitions collapse even further.
But on the set of L’Équipe du Soir, Raymond Domenech defended the Olympian coach, stating that the responsibilities should not only fall on him. The former French national team coach notably criticized the players’ attitude: “Players pounce as soon as there is a flaw from the coach or a leader. It’s never their fault!” This strong statement comes as Habib Beye himself recently denounced the numerous criticisms against him: “The criticisms are very targeted in my presence.”
