Franco-Senegalese tactician Habib Beye makes Ligue 1 history as Marseille stun Lyon

Franco-Senegalese tactician Habib Beye etched his name into Ligue 1 history on Sunday, after guiding Olympique de Marseille to a dramatic victory over Olympique Lyonnais at the Stade Vélodrome.

Beye, who recently joined Marseille guided the club to secure a 3-2 victory over their opponent in a fiercely contested encounter on Sunday.

While Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stole the spotlight with a brilliant brace, it was Beye who ultimately made headlines for a historic managerial milestone.

Recently appointed to replace Roberto De Zerbi at Marseille, Beye celebrated his first win in charge of the club in remarkable fashion. The triumph over Lyon was not just another victory—it confirmed him as the first coach in Ligue 1 history to defeat Olympique Lyonnais with two different clubs in the same season.

The achievement underlines Beye’s tactical acumen and growing reputation in French football. Delivering such a statement result so early in his tenure sends a strong message about his ambitions with Marseille.

For Beye, this landmark moment could mark the beginning of a promising chapter at the Vélodrome, as he looks to steer Marseille toward a strong finish in the French top flight.
