Reims 1-0 Marseille: Post-Bielsa era starts with defeat

There was more Marseille misery on Sunday, as it slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Reims in its first match since Marcelo Bielsa's resignation.

Marseille started life after Marcelo Bielsa with a disappointing 1-0 Ligue 1 loss at Reims on Sunday.

Bielsa announced his resignation as head coach in a postmatch news conference in the aftermath of Marseille's 1-0 loss to Caen in its Ligue 1 opener last week, with president Vincent Labrune saying he was left 'dumbfounded' by the decision.

And there was more disappointment at the Stade Auguste-Delaune II, as Hamari Traore scored the only goal with a superb 25-yard drive that nestled in the bottom left-hand corner in the 14th minute.
