On the OM side, Robert Pirès has endorsed the arrival of Habib Beye on the Marseille bench.

In an interview with La Provence, Robert Pirès, who played alongside Habib Beye at Aston Villa, revealed that his former teammate has what it takes to rise to the challenge.

"He needs to talk to the players, tailor his speeches. He needs to have a team in mind, a stable core. The hardest to manage will be those who don't play; he might have to speak with them even more. His mission will be challenging, but he knows exactly what he's getting into," he said.

After an opening defeat at Brest (2-0), OM must bounce back against Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday.
