This Tuesday, Marcelino would have announced to the players his departure from OM. Jean-Pierre Papin should take his place on the bench against Ajax on Thursday.
A casting error. This is how the passage from Marcelino to theOlympic Marseille. Arriving this summer to replace Igor Tudor, the Spanish coach is not convincing at the start of the season. Between the premature elimination in the Champions League and the game proposed by the Marseille players, OM disappoints its supporters, and here more than elsewhere, we have very little time to redress the situation.

If we are to believe the information from The Team, Marcelino announced his departure to his players this Tuesday. In the event of departure, he should be replaced by Jean-Pierre Papin on the Marseille bench for the trip to Ajax Amsterdam this Thursday. A new upheaval for the Riviera club as supporters demand the departure of Pablo Longoria.
This decision, which would therefore be a resignation, would be largely due to the comments made by supporters against the club’s leaders on Monday. Discussions are currently underway with management to find an agreement for his departure. In total, Marcelino only managed seven matches on the OM bench, for a record of three victories (before extra time against Panathinaikos), three draws and one defeat.
