'''Élie Baup''' ({{IPA|fr|eli ˈbop}}; born 17 March 1955) is a French [[Association football|football]] manager and a former [[association football|footballer]] who played as a [[Goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]]. His last post was the manager of [[Ligue 1]] side [[Olympique de Marseille|Marseille]].

==Managerial career==
===1994–2009===
As the club manager of [[FC Girondins de Bordeaux|Bordeaux]], Baup won the [[List of French football champions|French Division 1 championships]] in 1999 and the [[Coupe de la Ligue]] in 2002. He was sacked on 24 October 2003 by the club president [[Jean-Louis Triaud]].

Baup signed on as the manager of [[AS Saint-Étienne|Saint-Étienne]] in 2004, bringing to the club one of his favourite players, [[Pascal Feindouno]]. Saint-Étienne had won promotion to [[Ligue 1]] at the end of the 2003–04 season. During Baup's tenure, the club finished sixth and thirteenth in the table respectively in the [[2004–05 Ligue 1]] and [[2005–06 Ligue 1]] seasons. He resigned from the club at the end of the 2005–06 season.

In his first season as the manager of the club, Baup guided [[Toulouse FC|Toulouse]] to finish third in the table in the [[2006–07 Ligue 1]] season. Toulouse thus earned a place in the [[2007–08 UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds|2007–08 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round]], where it lost to [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] 5–0 on aggregate. With Toulouse finishing only 17th in the table in the [[2007–08 Ligue 1]] season and barely escaping relegation to [[Ligue 2]], Baup was sacked on 30 May 2008, with one year left on his contract.

Baup became the manager of [[Ligue 1]] club [[FC Nantes|Nantes]] on 28 August 2008. He resigned from the club on 2 June 2009, with over a year to run on his contract, after he had failed to save it from relegation to [[Ligue 2]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zone/2009/06/02/1300663/elie-baup-quits-nantes-after-ligue-1-relegation|title=Elie Baup Quits Nantes After Ligue 1 Relegation|publisher=Goal.com|date=2 June 2009|accessdate=6 July 2011}}</ref>

From 2009 to 2012, Baup worked as a football consultant in [[Canal Football Club]], a program that shows highlights of [[Ligue 1]] matches on [[Canal+ (French TV channel)|Canal+]].

===Marseille===
On 4 July 2012, Baup signed a two-year contract with [[Olympique de Marseille|Marseille]] as its new manager, succeeding [[Didier Deschamps]], who had left the club two days earlier to become the manager of [[France national football team|France]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.om.net/fr/Saison/101005/Actualites/61374/Officiel_Elie_Baup_nomme_entraineur|title=Officiel : Elie Baup nommé entraîneur|publisher=[[Olympique de Marseille|OM.net]]|date=4 July 2012|accessdate=6 July 2011 | language = French}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/sns-rt-uk-soccer-france-marseillebre8630ob-20120704,0,3753841.story|title=Baup named Olympique Marseille coach|publisher=[[Chicago Tribune]]|date=4 July 2012|accessdate=6 July 2011}}{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.foxnews.com/sports/baup-named-new-manager-of-marseille/|title=Baup named new manager of Marseille|publisher=[[Fox News Channel|Fox News]]|date=4 July 2012|access-date=6 July 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/01ff-0e7e57d8f032-4f0fe4f51e51-1000--marseille-move-swiftly-to-appoint-baup/|title=Marseille move swiftly to appoint Baup|publisher=[[UEFA]]|date=4 July 2012|access-date=6 July 2011}}</ref> On 2 August 2012, Baup oversaw his first competitive match as [[Olympique de Marseille|Marseille]] manager, a [[2012–13 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase and play-off round#Eski.C5.9Fehirspor v Marseille|1–1]] away draw in the [[2012–13 UEFA Europa League|2012–13 Europa League]] third qualifying round first leg against Turkish club [[Eskişehirspor]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.om.net/fr/Saison/102002/Calendrier_Resultats/1240/Un_petit_avantage_pour_l_OM|title=Un petit avantage pour l'OM|publisher=[[Olympique de Marseille|OM.net]]|date=2 August 2012|accessdate=3 August 2011 | language = French}}</ref> Seven days later, Marseille beat [[Eskişehirspor]] [[2012–13 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase and play-off round#Marseille v Eski.C5.9Fehirspor|3–0]] in the return leg, winning the tie 4–1 on aggregate and thus secured a place in the [[2012–13 UEFA Europa League|2012–13 Europa League]] play-off round. Marseille eventually qualified for the 2012–13 Europa League group stage, but did not progress from it to the knockout phase.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/match/2009802--marseille-vs-eskisehirspor/|title=Marseille 3–0 Eskişehirspor|publisher=[[UEFA]]|date=9 August 2012|access-date=17 August 2011}}</ref> On 12 August 2013, Baup's [[Olympique de Marseille|Marseille]] won its opening [[2012–13 Ligue 1]] match away against [[Stade de Reims|Reims]] with a 1–0 scoreline.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.om.net/fr/Saison/102002/Calendrier_Resultats/1197/L_OM_reussit_sa_premiere|title=L'OM réussit sa première|publisher=[[Olympique de Marseille|OM.net]]|date=12 August 2012|accessdate=17 August 2011 | language = French}}</ref> The club would later achieve its best-ever start to a [[Ligue 1|Ligue 1 or Division 1]] season by winning its first six 2012–13 Ligue 1 matches. Marseille would eventually finish the [[2012–13 Ligue 1]] season in runner-up position, 12 points behind [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]]. Coincidentally, Marseille was defeated in the round of 16 of the [[2012–13 Coupe de France]] and [[2012–13 Coupe de la Ligue]] by [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] by the same scoreline of 2–0.

In the afternoon of 7 December 2013, the club announced on its website that Baup was no longer the Olympique de Marseille manager. The club president ([[Vincent Labrune]]) and Baup had earlier held a meeting right after the end of the training session conducted in the morning of 7 December 2013. "The board feel that, after 17 league matches into the season, results have not corresponded with our objectives and a firm decision had to be taken to get the team moving in the right direction again in the coming weeks," read a statement on the club's official website. Vincent Labrune said that the decision to dismiss Baup was "the most difficult and painful he had had to take since he came to the club". "Elie Baup is unanimously appreciated for his qualities as a person," Labrune added. "Nobody can forget the job he has done at Olympique de Marseille. He enabled us to finish second last season when nobody expected us to." The decision to sack Baup came just a day after Marseille lost 1–0 to [[FC Nantes|Nantes]] at the [[Stade Velodrome]] in a [[Ligue 1]] match that left them in fifth position and 13 points behind leaders [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] in the Ligue 1 table at the conclusion of the week 17 matches. Marseille had also fared poorly in the [[2013–14 UEFA Champions League]]. They had so far failed to pick up a single point from their first five [[2013–14 UEFA Champions League group stage#Group F|Group F]] matches against [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]], [[Borussia Dortmund]] and [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]], thus ensuring that they would finish at the bottom of the group.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.om.net/fr/Saison/101002/Actualites/72839/Elie_Baup_n_est_plus_l_entraineur_de_l_OM|title=Elie Baup n'est plus l'entraîneur de l'OM|publisher=Olympique de Marseille Official Website|date=7 December 2013|accessdate=7 December 2013 |language=French}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/marseille/sack-race/news/marseille-sack-elie-baup_122817.html|title=Marseille sack Elie Baup|publisher=Sports Mole|date=7 December 2013}}</ref>
