Former Chelsea defender Franck Leboeuf has urged Olympique de Marseille to find their spark again. The French legend gave an exclusive interview about his old club. He says the team must end the current chaos and work together.
The season finished with problems both on the pitch and behind the scenes. Leboeuf wants the club to stay calm under new leadership. He admits that Marseille cannot overcome Paris Saint-Germain in the title race. However, he points to RC Lens as a good example. Lens reached the Champions League and won cups without huge resources.
The ex-Chelsea star believes Marseille needs peace in every area of the club. The squad has quality players, and nobody is guilty alone. But everyone must share the same vision to grow. The team requires a clear style of play and better communication.
Leboeuf previously supported Habib Beye for the manager’s job. Now he accepts the appointment did not work. Marseille is a very complicated club to manage. Many factors caused problems during Beye’s time. The club looks ready to part ways with the manager. Still, Leboeuf sees hope for a positive future if the club finds stability.
