"It's extraordinary", Acherchour and Di Meco praise Marseille's dramatic turnaround under Genesio

Marseille have won five straight Ligue 1 matches under Genesio to climb to fourth, prompting praise from pundits Acherchour and Di Meco.

Marseille have turned their season around dramatically, stringing together five consecutive Ligue 1 victories after a difficult start. The wins came against Troyes (0-2), Angers (2-5), Le Havre (4-3), Toulouse (2-0) and Lens (1-2), lifting the club to fourth place. They also secured a Europa League victory at Leverkusen (0-1).

Manager Bruno Genesio has been credited with orchestrating the turnaround. Pundit Walid Acherchour praised the transformation on RMC's After Foot, noting that Genesio had endured a difficult period earlier in the season, questioning what was happening at the club after losses to PSG and Rennes.

"What Genesio has done with this team, and what the players have done, is extraordinary," Acherchour said, highlighting how the manager has emerged strengthened from the crisis.

Eric Di Meco echoed the sentiment on Rothen s'enflamme, crediting Genesio's tactical acumen and the restored confidence within the squad. "It's not a miracle, it's Bruno's work—he's the right man for the situation," Di Meco said, emphasizing that the revival reflects both the manager's leadership and the players' commitment.
