Andre Villas-Boas has been appointed the new coach of Marseille on a two-year deal to succeed Rudi Garcia, who guided the club to a fifth-placed finish in Ligue 1 last season.
The former Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea boss has been out of a job since leaving Shanghai SIPG in November 2017 and previously said he was keen to manage in the Bundesliga.
However, the 41-year-old ironed out the details of his new role with Marseille club president Jacques-Henri Eyraud and sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta at a recent congress in Monaco.
“We’re delighted to bring in a coach whose success has been recognised at the highest level in Europe and the world,” Marseille owner Frank McCourt said.
“The philosophy and approach to the game of Andre Villas-Boas fits with what we want for OM and will contribute to revitalising our project after a disappointing season. Our expectations are still just as big and we will make the necessary chances to achieve our objectives.”
Villas-Boas, the youngest coach to win a European trophy when he guided Porto to the Europa League in 2011 aged 33, arrived at Stamford Bridge amid much hype in summer 2011. (ESPN)
