Marseille coach Genesio praises Harit and Aguerd after PSG clash

For many Moroccans who follow Ligue 1 from abroad, the latest Classique offered a clear snapshot of two key internationals. Marseille coach Genesio used the 2-1 defeat to PSG to assess the early-season form of Amine Harit and Nayef Aguerd, sending a mixed but encouraging message.

Marseille coach Genesio makes Harit and Aguerd central

Both Amine Harit and Nayef Aguerd started for Olympique de Marseille at the Parc des Princes. Despite the loss, their coach believes their start to the campaign remains promising.

The two Morocco internationals had an uncertain summer regarding their club situations. Yet they gradually secured starting roles under Bruno Genesio, to the point of becoming key pieces in his line-up.

After the final whistle against Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille coach Genesio offered a detailed overview of their performance since the beginning of the season, outlining what convinces him and where he expects more.

Harit, tactical reference who must weigh more in attack

In midfield, Amine Harit has confirmed his status as a main creative outlet for OM. The coach underlines how important he is for the team’s balance.

Genesio highlights Harit’s sense of positioning and reading of the game. The Moroccan playmaker helps link defence and attack and keeps the team’s structure stable.

At the same time, the coach is asking him to step up in the final third. He wants Harit to be more decisive, through goals, assists and actions that can turn tight games.

For Moroccans living abroad who watch OM from France, Europe, the Gulf or North America, Harit’s rise is worth following closely. A consistent season with Marseille would naturally reinforce his role with the national team and showcase Moroccan talent at the top European level.

Aguerd, steady comeback after injury

At the back, Nayef Aguerd is on a different trajectory, one of recovery and progression. The defender struggled with an injury during the second half of last season and needed a tailored plan.

The medical and performance staff at OM worked carefully to bring him back gradually. According to Marseille coach Genesio, Aguerd is now making “clear progress” and is close to his best form.

For Marseille, that means more defensive stability and the leadership of an experienced international. For Moroccan fans, it is a reassuring sign before upcoming fixtures with the national team.

Why this matters for Moroccans following OM from abroad

this case therefore mixes praise with high standards for his two Moroccan starters. His words confirm that Harit and Aguerd are at the heart of OM’s project at the moment.

For Moroccans abroad who stay connected to the country through football, their visibility in a major European league has several effects:

• It keeps Moroccan players under the spotlight in one of Europe’s most watched derbies.
• It strengthens the image of Moroccan football among OM and PSG supporters worldwide.
• It offers young dual-national fans role models who wear both a major club’s shirt and the Moroccan jersey.

The season is still long, but the trajectory is clear. The performances of Harit and Aguerd at Marseille will continue to be closely monitored by fans in Morocco and across the Moroccan communities around the world.
