Marseille Names Bruno Genesio Head Coach and Grégory Lorenzi Sporting Director

The new leadership pairs a push for on-field ambition with urgent DNCG-driven financial targets that will direct the club’s summer transfer moves.

Overview

  • The club officially presented Bruno Genesio and Grégory Lorenzi at La Commanderie on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, with president Stéphane Richard calling their hires the start of a new cycle.
  • Lorenzi warned the squad must be rebalanced to meet DNCG and UEFA commitments and said the club is obliged to listen to offers and pursue player sales or loans.
  • Genesio accepted the job aware of the club’s economic limits and outlined a plan to keep competitive ambition while integrating and developing young players.
  • Hours after the presentation the pair were due to travel to the Ivory Coast for a three-day training camp and said the summer transfer window would be their immediate operational focus.
  • The club’s dual priorities mean the team that begins the season could change quickly through August and September, a shift that could affect player careers and fan expectations while management works to restore medium-term financial stability.
