Habib Beye

Habib Frédéric Beye (born 19 October 1977) is a professional football coach and former player who played as a right-back. He is currently the manager of Ligue 1 club Marseille. Born in France, Beye represented the Senegal national team, earning 45 caps between 2001 and 2008.

Developed at Paris Saint-Germain, he played in Ligue 1 for Strasbourg and Marseille. From 2007, he spent five years in England, with Newcastle United and Aston Villa in the Premier League, and Doncaster Rovers in the EFL Championship.

Beye was part of the Senegal squads at the Africa Cup of Nations in 2002 (runners-up), 2004, 2006 (semi-finalists) and 2008, as well as a quarter-finalist at the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

As a coach, Beye was first hired by Red Star in 2021, and led the club to the Championnat National title in 2023–24. He was then appointed at Rennes in Ligue 1, and moved to Marseille after his dismissal in February 2026.

Beye was born in Suresnes, Hauts-de-Seine, and grew up in Le Port-Marly. He is a Muslim.

Beye joined Paris Saint-Germain in 1997, though he progressed no further than the reserve side, playing in the national fifth division. He transferred at the end of the season to Strasbourg in 1998 for an undisclosed amount.[citation needed]

Following his summer move to Strasbourg in 1998, Beye made his league debut on 8 August 1998 in a home 0–0 draw against Lyon, and played a total of 23 times in his first season at the club. He missed just five league matches in the following season, and netted for the first time on 2 October 1999 in a 2–2 home draw with Bordeaux. He was a member of the Strasbourg side that won the 2001 French Cup, eventually defeating third division Amiens in a penalty shoot-out, which helped his team achieve UEFA Cup qualification in the following season. He appeared a total of 134 times in the league for Strasbourg, scoring 8 goals.

On 6 August 2003, Beye signed a three-year contract at Marseille under manager Alain Perrin, for a reported fee of €1.2 million. He said that despite his Parisian upbringing, he had always supported the club.
