The former Brighton manager arrived at Marseille in the summer 2024. After a good first season with a second place finish in Ligue 1 behind PSG and a return to the Champions League, his second campaign has been much tougher.
Marseille currently sit fourth in Ligue 1 standings, 12 points behind leaders PSG and 10 points behind second-place Lens amid their poor run of form.
