Wednesday night’s French Cup defeat realistically means another trophyless season for the southern club, which has not won anything for 14 years and has slid from Ligue 1 title contender to fourth place. Marseille’s habit of hiring and firing coaches has introduced Habib Beye to replace Roberto De Zerbi, the latest sacking. De Zerbi was highly regarded until the team failed to even qualify for the Champions League playoffs by finishing a dismal 25th in the group phase, then lost 5-0 to Paris Saint-Germain.
