The Italian explained: “I am very happy to join Olympique de Marseille, I felt a very strong desire to join this club. The history and prestige that surrounds OM, the passion and fervor of its supporters, the seriousness and enthusiasm that Frank, Pablo and Medhi showed me were decisive in my decision to embark on this exciting challenge. . I can’t wait to sit on the bench at the Orange Vélodrome, this time as coach of OM, and help the club regain the position that Marseille deserves.”
Will it be a match made in heaven?
