Just days after securing their place in the Première Ligue, Olympique de Marseille's women's team has announced the end of their partnership with head coach Corinne Diacre. The decision, described as mutual, marks the conclusion of a tense and dramatic season for Les Marseillaises.

Diacre arrived in Marseille under emergency circumstances earlier this year, stepping in after a chaotic start to the campaign left the team fighting for survival. Her leadership proved crucial in rallying the squad and guiding them to safety in the final weeks of the season—a testament to her experience as former head coach of the France women's national team.

However, the atmosphere in the dressing room appeared to fray in the closing stages of the competition. Reports indicate that Diacre's relationship with players had become strained, and tensions spilled into the streets of Marseille, where graffiti targeting the coach appeared. This unrest likely contributed to the decision to part ways.

In an official statement, the club expressed gratitude for Diacre's efforts: "Olympique de Marseille and Corinne Diacre have jointly decided not to continue their partnership. Having taken charge with the ambition of supporting the club's sporting project, Corinne Diacre, along with her staff, helped achieve the objectives set for this season, notably keeping Les Marseillaises in the Arkema Première Ligue. OM would like to sincerely thank her for her commitment, professionalism, and the work accomplished throughout her time at the club."

The search for a new head coach is already underway. The club confirmed that a successor will be named in the coming days, with an eye toward preparing for the 2026-2027 season. For fans and players alike, this marks a fresh start—and a chance to build on the hard-fought survival that defined this year's campaign. As the team looks ahead, the focus will be on finding a leader who can unite the squad and elevate Marseille's standing in French women's football.
