Jean Fernandez, Eric Gerets and Claude Puel are among those who have been shortlisted by Olympique de Marseille to take up the coaching position which is likely to be vacant this summer
Didier Deschamps is most likely to leave http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 as soon as the current campaign ends. Though the Frenchman has fared well in his few years at the club, the current campaign has certainly made a big blotch on his impressive CV.
Currently, Les Phoceens are in 11th place in the Ligue 1 standings and will not be featuring in the Champions League next season. Furthermore, the former Juventus manager is not keen on working alongside Jose Anigo anymore.
Vincent Labrune, the president of the club, knows that he will eventually see Deschamps leaving and the Marseille supremo has started short listing candidates to replace the 98 World Cup winner.
Le Provence claims that former coach Erik Gerets is keen on making a return to the club he left in mysterious circumstance a few years back. Currently, the Belgian is coaching the Moroccan national team where his future seems uncertain.
However, Gerets is not the only man who is in the shortlist. Another former coach in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 at the club. Fernandez is currently the coach of Nancy Lorraine with whom he has done quite a remarkable job in

Former Derby County player Fabrizio Ravanelli is another person who has been shortlisted. However, the Uruguayan has no experience of managing a team at the highest level.
Claude Puel on the other hand, might be the person Marseille are looking for. The former Lille coach was sacked from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 last summer and is keen on making a return to a coaching role. The Frenchman has done reasonably well in the past during
his time at AS Monaco, Lille and Lyon and could be the favourite to replace Deschamps at the helm.
Stade Rennais coach Frederic Antonetti is another coach linked with the coaching position. The Rennais coach’s future at the club is uncertain following his side’s semi-final defeat against US Quevilly (Coupe de http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899).
