Habib Beye makes Ligue 1 history

The Senegalese coach became the first coach in the French league to beat Olympique Lyonnais with two different clubs in the same season.

Olympique de Marseille emerged victorious from their clash with Lyon on Sunday 1 March 2026. In an intense and emotional match at the Stade Vélodrome, Habib Beye's players turned the game around to take all three points on the Matchday 24 of the French Ligue 1 season.

While Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the hero of this epic encounter with his stunning double, it was Habib Beye's name that went down in French league history. The Senegalese tactician, recently appointed at Marseille to succeed Roberto De Zerbi, recorded his first victory on the French club's bench.

With this resounding success, Habib Beye became the first manager in Ligue 1 history to beat OL with two different clubs in the same season. This achievement marks the start of the Senegalese manager's career at the helm of the technical staff.
