Franck Passi (born March 28, 1966 in Bergerac, Dordogne) is a French retired footballer, and most recently, the caretaker manager of Marseille. He is the brother of another footballer, international Gérald Passi.

Career

He worked in a player recruitment role for one of his old clubs Olympique Marseille between 2007 and 2010 before becoming Reserve Team Coach at the club in May 2010.

In 2012 he was promoted again, this time as Assistant Coach to Elie Baup. After the departure of Baup in December 2013, Passi continued his duties as assistant coach under Jose Anigo, as well as under Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa.

After Bielsa's shock exit in August 2015, Passi was appointed caretaker boss in the interim for the club's next few games as Marseille searched for Bielsa's replacement. He was promoted to caretaker boss in April 2016 once more after the departure of Bielsa's successor Míchel. Passi led Marseille for exactly six months until October 2016, when the club appointed Rudi García as Michel's replacement.

Passi led his side to the 2016 Coupe de France Final, losing 4-2 to rivals Paris Saint-Germain F.C..
