Olympique de Marseille had a disappointing season, with three managers passing by en route to a fifth-place finish in Ligue 1 and two premature domestic cup exits. With striker Didier Drogba being sold to Chelsea, and replacements Habib Bamogo and Péguy Luyindula not performing at a similar level, the goal-scoring went dry, but in spite of scoring two points less than the previous season, OM finished two positions above the previous season.
