Habib Beye joins an inglorious club in Ligue 1

The Senegalese tactician has joined the exclusive club of managers who have lost three times to the same team in a single season.

Habib Beye’s start at the helm of Marseille’s coaching staff has been difficult. The Senegalese manager, who took charge of the Marseille side last February, is struggling to find his feet. His team suffered another 2-0 defeat against Lorient on matchday 30 of the French league.

A defeat that sees Habib Beye join an unenviable club of French Ligue 1 managers. With Saturday’s loss, Habib Beye suffered his third defeat this season against Lorient in Ligue 1. A sad record that few managers have set in the past. Robert Nouzaret lost three times to Paris Saint-Germain during the 2000-2001 season. Angel Marcos suffered three defeats against Lille in 2001-2002 and Antoine Kombouaré against Paris Saint-Germain in 2018-2019. Habib Beye now joins this list with three defeats against Lorient during the 2025-2026 season.
