Marseille manager Lucien Favre has confirmed that he will remain in charge of the club for the foreseeable future, with his contract set to expire at the end of this season.
Favre's stay at Marseille is a major relief for the French side, who have struggled to compete in the top flight of football in recent years. The 65-year-old coach has been in charge of the club since 2018 and has overseen several successful campaigns in the league, including a runners-up finish last season.
However, there were concerns about Favre's future at the club after he was linked with a move away from Marseille in January. However, the club has shown its commitment to him by extending his contract until June 2024.
With the new deal in place, Favre now targets the Ligue 1 title as his primary goal for the upcoming campaign. He believes that the squad has the talent to challenge for the championship and has already made some key signings in the transfer window.
Favre's track record at Marseille is impressive, with he having led the team to four consecutive seasons of top-flight success. He has also won two Ligue 1 titles and three Coupe de France trophies during his time at the club.
Despite the challenges of playing in one of the most competitive leagues in Europe, Favre remains confident in his ability to lead Marseille to success. With his contract renewed and his focus on the Ligue 1 title, it looks like he will be staying at Marseille for the foreseeable future.
