Officially looking for a new coaching position since the announcement of his departure from Red Star, which he brought up to Ligue 2, Habib Beye admits, in L’Équipe, to dreaming of Olympique de Marseille.
“Ready to go to Ligue 1”, Habib Beye (46) does not hide his dream of coaching Olympique de Marseille. Whether from next season or later. In an interview published Friday May 10 by L’Équipe, the man who will leave the Red Star bench at the end of the season assumes his “very high” ambitions.
“If OM calls me, I’ll go running! I have no problem saying it,” declares the former defender, who wore the colors of OM from 2003 to 2007. “If one day there is a meeting, if there is a desire from the club, and if one day we have to work together, great,” he adds.
Beye denied for Reims
A few days after obtaining the promotion to Ligue 2 and the National 1 title with Red Star, Habib Beye announced his departure from the club he had taken charge of in October 2021. In 101 matches, Habib Beye has a record of 50 victories for 23 draws and 28 defeats. This is his first coaching experience, launched in parallel with his activities as a consultant and TV commentator.
Regularly cited for several months in some Ligue 1 clubs, Habib Beye has denied the latest and most insistent rumor which sent him to the Stade de Reims. “I have neither met the sporting director of Reims, nor the president, nor visited the infrastructure,” he said on Canal+ on May 8.
