Marseille head coach Bruno Genesio is scheduled to hold talks with club leadership this week as frustration grows over the club's financial constraints and lack of public direction.
Bruno Genesio is set to meet with Olympique de Marseille's leadership this week, according to a report from La Provence. The discussions come as the head coach's frustration with the situation at the club continues to grow.
Genesio, who arrived in the summer, has been surprised by the state of affairs he inherited. Marseille have been forced to sell several key players for financial reasons without bringing in any new signings.
Results have added to the pressure. Genesio has lost four of his first five Ligue 1 matches and five of his first six games across all competitions, a first in the club's history.
According to L'Équipe, Genesio expects owner Frank McCourt to make a public statement addressing the situation and the club's objectives, but none has been made. The coach is reportedly aligned with CEO Stéphane Richard and sporting director Grégory Lorenzi on the issue.
