"It's a great source of pride. I'm very happy to be here. You know how attached I am to this club. It's a very special moment. I experienced it as a player, and now I'm experiencing it as a coach. We need to get the emotions out. In the next 24 hours, make contact with the group, try to have an influence. The impact will be limited."
"We need to be a vertical team that plays football. With this quality of players, we need to be dominant. We need to get excited here, it's important for the supporters. We need to value the work of OM in recent years. There has been spectacular football at times. You have to breathe this city, feel it, and embody it. You have to convey that. It's an asset for me. I'm going to have to be able to capture that."
Habib Beye was appointed head coach of Marseille following Roberto De Zerbi's exit. Marseille have not won any of their last three league matches (D2 L1) and sit fourth in Ligue 1, five points behind Lyon in third. Beye expressed pride in the club and drew on his experience as a former Marseille player now returning as coach. He intends to implement a vertical, dominant playing style that leverages the squad's quality and aims to excite supporters while valuing the club's recent work. Beye warned the full plan will not be in effect immediately as he makes initial contact with the group ahead of the Brest match on Friday.
