It appears that Elie Baup is no longer the coach of Olympique de Marseille, following a series of poor performances by the team. The defeat against Nantes in the opening match of the 17th day of Ligue 1 is reported to have been a decisive factor. According to RMC Sport, Baup seemed tense when addressing the team on Saturday morning, and José Anigo, the sports director of Marseille, took the unusual step of coming onto the field during the cleanup. It is suggested that Anigo could temporarily succeed Baup. After the cleanup, a staff meeting was held, and Vincent Labrune, the president of OM, neither confirmed nor denied the coaching change.
Elie Baup, who arrived in July 2012 to replace Didier Deschamps, has faced challenges meeting the expectations at Olympique de Marseille. The team has experienced 11 defeats in 22 matches so far this season.
