Olympique de Marseille isn't waiting for the final whistle to blow on their current season. While Habib Beye remains at the helm for now, the club has already kicked off its search for a new manager, according to L'Équipe.

Beye stepped in to replace Roberto De Zerbi back in February, but the results haven't matched the ambition. Tasked with steering Marseille into the UEFA Champions League and reaching the Coupe de France final, he's fallen short on both fronts. With the season winding down, the front office is now shifting focus to the future.

Behind the scenes, a bigger shake-up is brewing. Sporting director Medhi Benatia is set to depart, with Grégory Lorenzi poised to take over. Sources indicate that Lorenzi has a clear preference: he wants a French tactician in the dugout. That has put several high-profile names on the shortlist.

Bruno Genesio, who is leaving Lille OSC this summer, is a strong candidate. So is former Paris Saint-Germain boss Christophe Galtier, currently under contract with NEOM SC in Saudi Arabia. Galtier, who hails from the Marseille region, has never made a secret of his desire to manage the club he grew up supporting. It's a homecoming story that would resonate deeply with the passionate OM faithful.

Another intriguing option is Adi Hutter, the former AS Monaco manager who parted ways with the club last autumn. His experience in Ligue 1 and attacking philosophy could bring a fresh dynamic to the Stade Vélodrome.

As the search heats up, Marseille fans can expect a summer of change—both in the boardroom and on the touchline.
