Olympique Marseille manager, Jorge Sampaoli, will leave his role as head coach of the club after a mutual agreement with the management of the club.
Sampaoli’s exit comes as a shock, given the 62-year-old led Marseille back to the Champions League with a second-place finish in Ligue 1 last season.
According to popular Italian journalist, Fabrizio Romano,
“Jorge Sampaoli will leave Olympique Marseille. It’s over, confirmed and it will be official soon,” he said.
“Marseille will be in the process to appoint a new manager soon,” he added.
The Argentine manager was signed on February 2021 in a deal that will expire on June 23, 2023.
He has enjoyed a successful managerial career across Europe and South America, taking charge of the Argentina and Chile national teams, as well as Sevilla at the club level.
