First Published: Mar 26, 2002

Olympique Marseille may ask defender and French international Frank Leboeuf to replace outgoing sporting director Bernard Tapie for next season.

The former Chelsea star is due to retire from the national team after the World Cup finals and 'L'Equipe' say the 35 year old is being considered for a management role at OM.

The club's president Robert Louis-Dreyfus says he may still quit the southern club after another poor season leading to big changes ahead for Marseille.
