The worst OM coaches since Deschamps

Gennaro Gattuso inherited a position which has not been successful for many coaches since the last French championship title won by OM. It was in 2010 with Didier Deschamps…

The last coach to be crowned champion of France with OM, Didier Deschamps left a big void in Marseille. Since his departure in July 2012, thirteen coaches have succeeded one another on the Marseille bench and none has won a single title. Will Gennaro Gattuso, the fourteenth on this list, do better than his predecessors? The Olympian people hope so but the mission promises to be complicated…

Tudor the best…

Because the Italian technician (45 years old), having worked in particular with AC Milan, Naples and Valencia, recovers a team under construction, abandoned by Marcelino after only seven matches and which remains on a correction inflicted by PSG at the Parc des Princes (4 -0). To do better than the Spaniard at the head of Ciel et Blanc, the 2006 world champion will have to win more than 43% of his matches.

…and Larguet the worst

Over the last eleven years, the OM coach with the best ratio is none other than Igor Tudor who, during his only season spent at the Stade Vélodrome, in 2022-2023, posted a record of 57 % of victories. Before packing up… This is much better than Michel’s 34.8% or Nasser Larguet’s 22.2%, whose interim period will certainly have only lasted 9 matches, from February to March 2021.
