The new club's coach appointed Elie Baup, who has signed a two-year contract.

The experienced 57-year-old specialist will replace Didier Deschamps, who resigned a few days ago.

Baup, who left "Nantes" three years ago, has recently worked as a football commentator on television. Throughout his career, he has also coached "Bordeaux", "Saint Etienne" and "Toulouse".

Last season, "Marseille" faced financial problems and finished only tenth in the French championship, but they won a cup and secured a spot in the UEFA Europa League tournament.
