Having managed to bring Red Star up to Ligue 2, Habib Beye will leave his position as coach at the end of the season. But he denied, on Canal+, having met the management of Stade de Reims.
Red Star coach since 2021, Habib Beye is preparing to take a new step. After allowing the Ile-de-France club to return to Ligue 2 thanks to the National champion title, the former OM defender announced his desire to play at a higher level. With the departure of Will Still, the name of Stade de Reims emerged to welcome the technician.
At the microphone of Canal+, the man who is also a TV consultant denied having had contact with the people of Rémois: “Everywhere they announce me in Reims, they say that I traveled at night to visit the infrastructures. I say it loud and clear , I have neither met the sporting director of Reims, nor the president, nor visited the infrastructure.” The technician still renewed his desire “to coach at a very high level. I expressed my ambition, and when you are ambitious, you want to coach at a very high level.”
“Which coach is going to say no to Marseille?”
During an interview with Generation After on RMC, Habib Beye had already announced his intention not to “train a Ligue 2 club other than Red Star”. Trained at PSG, the former defender keeps OM in the back of his mind, a club where he played from 2003 to 2007: “We have the impression that history must bring us back to a remarriage but no one knows if it will happen,” he said.
“It’s an exceptional club, exciting, exciting, but you have to be ready for a club like that. But I think it’s impossible to say no to a club like this when you are the coach that I am . You can’t say no. Which coach is going to say no to Marseille?” With the end of Jean-Louis Gasset’s contract at the end of the season, the Phocéens will be one of the clubs looking for a coach.
