After suffering two consecutive defeats in a single week, Olympique de Marseille (OM) is facing increased pressure, especially on their coach, Elie Baup. The first defeat came against Napoli in the UEFA Champions League, losing 2-1 at home. The second defeat occurred against the less-favored Reims, with a score of 3-2 at the Vélodrome.
The frustration among OM players was evident after the Reims defeat, with Souleymane Diawara suggesting that Baup was absent and did not provide guidance during a critical moment. Reports suggest that Baup is now under threat, and his position as the head coach is uncertain.
The question arises as to who could potentially replace Baup to bring about a positive change in the team’s performance. The decision to retain or replace a coach often depends on the club’s management and their assessment of the situation.
