Sunday night's clash between Olympique de Marseille and Stade Rennais is shaping up to be a pivotal moment—likely marking the end of Habib Beye's tenure as Marseille manager, according to a report from L'Équipe.

Beye's journey this season has been a rollercoaster. He started the campaign with Rennais before being dismissed in February, only to land on his feet quickly. He was tapped as Roberto De Zerbi's successor at OM, arriving with the club sitting fourth in Ligue 1. His mission was clear: secure a UEFA Champions League spot and push for the Coupe de France final.

But things haven't gone to plan. While Marseille still has a shot at UEFA Europa League qualification heading into the final day of the Ligue 1 season, Beye has fallen short on both key objectives. The team now languishes in sixth place, and tensions are running high at every level of the club. There's a growing sense that OM has taken a step backward under his watch.

According to L'Équipe, incoming sporting director Grégory Lorenzi is expected to take the reins this summer—and he'll want his own man in the dugout. With Lorenzi set to choose the next manager, Beye's brief and turbulent reign appears to be drawing to a close. For Marseille fans, this could signal a fresh start, but for now, all eyes are on Sunday's final act.
