Former Marseille Boss Contemplates International Management with Senegal
The 48-year-old tactician found himself unattached after Marseille decided to refresh their technical setup ahead of the upcoming campaign. While Beye was heavily linked with a move to Paris FC, reports from SeneNews suggest that the Senegalese football federation is considering him to succeed current head coach Pape Thiaw.
Beye's short tenure at Marseille concluded with a fifth-place finish in Ligue 1 and a quarter-final elimination in the Coupe de France, which secured European qualification. Despite fulfilling continental objectives, the club management decided to replace the Senegalese coach with Bruno Genesio for the 2026-2027 season.

Following his official departure, Beye expressed his gratitude on social media, stating: "My adventure ends but it was a true privilege to coach Marseille. I want to thank the fans, staff, and my players because we stayed united until the very end to qualify the club for Europe."
The opportunity to manage the Lions of Teranga arrives amid intense pressure on Pape Thiaw following Senegal's poor performance at the 2026 World Cup. Beye will face stiff competition for the prestigious international role, with highly experienced tactician Herve Renard also shortlisted by federation officials.
