Well Igor Tudor is Sampaoli's replacement as Marseille manager. Tudor has never managed in France before, he's never even been the main manager of a club as big as Marseille before, so it remains to be seen how well he will do with them. Marseille have taken a bit of a risk with this appointment in my opinion, but I wish them the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kina67 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 The new president is Longoria, Sampaoli is in, Eyraud has left, and Sampaoli is in.I think OM fans can finally feel optimistic about its future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted February 20 Administrator Share Posted February 20 Think Gattuso needs to take a step back from this management lark. Not for him... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68335976 Quote Marseille have sacked their manager Gennaro Gattuso after less than five months. The Italian took over at the French club in late September and leaves with the club ninth in Ligue 1. Gattuso, 46, leaves after picking up just nine wins from his 24 matches as manager. Marseille lost six times under his stewardship, the latest being Sunday's 1-0 defeat by second-placed Brest. "Olympique de Marseille announces the end of its collaboration with Gennaro Gattuso," Marseille said in a statement. "Marseille would like to extend its special thanks to Gennaro and his entire staff for the unfailing commitment and professionalism they have shown on a daily basis, and wishes them all the best for the future." Gattuso joined Marseille as a replacement for now Villarreal manager Marcelino, who himself had only been at the helm in the south of France for three months. Gattuso, who as a player won the World Cup with Italy in 2006, has also had spells managing AC Milan, Napoli and Valencia. After a slow start to his time in France, four straight league wins in December took Marseille up to sixth in the table. But Marseille have not won any of their last six Ligue 1 matches, four of which have ended in draws. Gattuso took charge of 15 league matches at the Stade Velodrome, winning five, drawing five and losing five. Marseille were also knocked out of the Coupe de France last month after a penalty shootout defeat to league rivals Rennes. Despite the poor run of form, Marseille remain in the Europa League. Finishing second in Group B behind English debutants Brighton, Marseille host Ukrainian outfit Shakhtar Donetsk on Thursday (20:00 GMT) in the second leg of their knockout round play-off match, having drawn 2-2 last week.
