Eric Chelle’s Potential Move to Olympique Marseille Collapses After Club Appoints New Coach

Speculation surrounding Eric Chelle potentially joining Olympique Marseille has come to an end after the Ligue 1 side announced the appointment of Habib Beye as their new head coach.

Since the conclusion of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in January, Chelle’s future has been surrounded by speculation, with several high-profile clubs reportedly showing interest in his services. His name had recently been strongly linked with Marseille following the dismissal of Roberto De Zerbi two weeks ago.

However, Marseille’s official announcement of Beye as head coach has effectively ruled out any possibility of Chelle taking charge at the Stade Vélodrome.
