A new era in Marseille. The club officially announced tonight (Friday) that Jorge Sampaoli has signed until 2023. As you may recall, the Argentine will replace Andre Villas-Boas who wanted to leave earlier this month after the bad results and riots of the fans.
Sampaoli will reach the demanding job after a less successful tenure in European football – he coached Sevilla for a year – until the summer of 2017. He then stood on the lines of the Argentina national team and coached the Brazilian Santos and Atletico Mineiro. In any case, a difficult task awaits him at all, with Marseille in seventh place in the table after 25 rounds in the French league.
In addition, the team from the south of France also made a behind-the-scenes change, with Pablo Longria appointed president in place of the infamous Jacques Henry Euro who was sacked after five years.
