Elie Baup could not withstand the defeat of Olympique de Marseille (OM) against Nantes in the opening match of the 17th day of Ligue 1, losing 0-1 on their home turf. As a result, José Anigo, the sporting director of the club, is expected to take on the role of interim manager until further notice.
José Anigo, who tragically lost his son to murder at the end of the summer, is considered a key figure at the club. He previously led Marseille to the final of the 2003-2004 UEFA Cup.
Elie Baup, who took over in July 2012 as the replacement for Didier Deschamps, faced challenges meeting the expectations at Olympique de Marseille. With 11 defeats in 22 matches so far in the season, the club’s leadership has decided to make changes.
The article also suggests a poll to gather opinions on whether Baup should be fired, indicating a desire to gauge public sentiment on the matter.
