Olympique de Marseille appoint Bruno Genesio as head coach
Olympique de Marseille will appoint Bruno Genesio as head coach, succeeding Habib Beye on the bench.
The change is set to take effect immediately.
Genesio most recently served as Lille's manager.
He announced his departure from the northern club earlier this month.
Media outlets had listed Genesio as the frontrunner for the Marseille vacancy.
His experience in Ligue 1 was cited as a key factor.
Habib Beye, who had been in charge on an interim basis, will step down from the role.
The club thanked Beye for his service during the transition period.
Genesio will begin preparations for the upcoming Ligue 1 campaign.
He is expected to implement his tactical philosophy with the squad.
Marseille fans will watch the first training session under Genesio next week.
The appointment completes the club's summer managerial reshuffle.
