Marcelino has been inducted as OM’s new coach in recent hours. The Spaniard is more than eager to get to work with his new team.
After weeks of reflection and negotiations, OM finally got their hands on a new coach. If Marcelo Gallardo or Paulo Fonseca were priority targets, it was ultimately Marcelino who was chosen. The former technician from Valencia or Athletic Bilbao has signed up for two seasons with the Marseille club and should receive a salary of 330,000 euros gross per month, the same emoluments as those of Igor Tudor. Marcelino will have a lot on his plate, with a transfer window to achieve and lofty goals to fulfill. In any case, the Marseille challenge does not seem to scare him …
Marcelino is already putting OM fans in his pocket
Hello Marseilles! Very happy to join such a big club and can’t wait to be at the Vélodrome, to experience one of the most beautiful atmospheres in Europe!

Only a few hours after the formalization of his arrival at Olympique de Marseille, Marcelino publicly commented on his arrival via his social networks. On Twitter, the 57-year-old coach couldn’t help but talk about the atmosphere at the Stade Vélodrome: “Hello Marseilles! Very happy to join such a big club as OM and can’t wait to be at the Vélodrome, to experience one of the most beautiful atmospheres in Europe! Go Om “. This is enough to please Marseille fans and already put all the chances on his side to succeed in his adventure on the Canebière. From August, the Marseille club will have to be ready, both for the resumption of Ligue 1 but also to compete in the Champions League play-offs. A qualification for the competition is most important for OM and its project. The summer transfer window will finally be able to start. Marcelino and Pablo Longoria, who know each other very well, will have to activate their networks.
