Philippe Troussier, the head coach of the team, was fired from his duties due to very poor results.
This season, Marseille finished just fifth in the French league, although they were competing for the title for a long time. This year, the club also did not qualify for either the UEFA Champions League or the UEFA Europa League, so the team will have to settle for the Intertoto Cup, starting from the third round.
The former coach of the Japanese national team took over Marseille at the end of November. The previous coach of the team, Jose Anigo, will become the club's sports director.
