2000–01 Olympique de Marseille season

Olympique de Marseille was once again forced to fight for its top-flight survival following a dire season, in which the club almost went bankrupt, despite the expensive sale of Robert Pires to Arsenal. Former Spain national team coach Javier Clemente was sacked following the poor run of results, and his replacement Tomislav Ivić just saved Marseille from relegation.
