Habib Beye expresses interest in potential return to Olympique de Marseille
Following a dynamic season with Red Star in the National league, which culminated in the Saint-Ouen-based team’s promotion to the second division, former professional footballer Habib Beye is contemplating his next career move. In recent media appearances, the ex-Strasbourg and Newcastle player has hinted at his readiness to embrace a coaching role in Ligue 1, signaling his aspirations for a return to elite football.
In an interview featured in L’Équipe, Beye, who also serves as a football pundit on Canal+, reaffirmed his enduring affection for Olympique de Marseille (OM), the club that holds a special place in his heart.
Recounting his deep-seated connection with the club where he once served as captain, Beye expressed his willingness to heed the call should OM come knocking on his door.
“It’s the club that has given me the most emotion since my childhood. I was the captain. If OM calls me, I’ll go running! I have no problem saying it…(…) Me, today, I’m not telling you that I have the will tomorrow morning to call Medhi (Benatia, OM sports advisor), that I know very well, and say to him: ‘Take me please!’ That’s not life.
If one day there is a meeting, if there is a desire from the club, and if one day we have to work together, great!” Beye candidly disclosed to the French daily.
While Beye’s sentiments reflect his deep-rooted attachment to Olympique de Marseille, he remains pragmatic about the prospect of a potential reunion.
Embracing a wait-and-see approach, Beye acknowledges the unpredictability of life and the need for mutual interest and opportunity to align before any decisive steps are taken.
As speculation swirls around Beye’s potential return to his beloved club, Marseille fans eagerly await developments that could herald the homecoming of a revered figure.
With Beye’s passion for OM palpable and his expertise unquestionable, his potential involvement in the club’s future endeavors could inject a fresh wave of optimism among supporters longing for a return to glory days.
