According to Footmercato, Bruno Genesio took over Marseille this summer, but Emmanuel Petit believes Marseille's status dictates that the team must have higher expectations. The 1998 World Cup winner criticized what he considers an overly conservative Marseille manager in an article published in Rothen s'enflamme.
“Genesio is very cautious because he knows this is a volcano that could erupt at any time. But I am a player at heart, and I need to feel the demands every day. You are in Marseille, and you have to face all kinds of turmoil that the club has experienced every year, and we all still remember the shame in the Champions League last season... But you are in Marseille, and you should have ambition and high goals. I understand the lack of signings, and I like Genesio, but I think he is too conservative.”
