OM: Habib Beye on the verge of signing

Things are moving quickly at OM in the past few hours. Marseille is searching for a replacement for Roberto De Zerbi, and the leading candidate for the job is Senegalese coach Habib Beye.

Approached after the departure of Roberto De Zerbi, which was announced overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday, Habib Beye is getting closer to OM. The Senegalese coach was dismissed by Stade Rennais last Monday. In fact, he has the advantage of knowing the Marseille environment and is seen as the favorite for the position, even though, according to L'Equipe, OM has not yet made a formal offer.

Sérgio Conceição, currently at Al-Ittihad, is still interested in OM, but his release clause, estimated at €4.5 million, could be a stumbling block. Nigeria coach Eric Chelle has also been offered to the Olympique management, but he does not appear to be a preferred option.
