Marseillais have failed to win in the Championship since mid-December. The enthusiasm of the last two seasons under Jorge Sampaoli has given way to a general weariness where the faithful no longer recognize themselves in their team.

The off-season was a failure, we recognize internally, shared between bad choices of players (departures of Kolasinac, Guendouzi, Sanchez Ünder, Payet) and a truncated physical preparation. The appointment of Gennaro Gattuso at the end of September does not change much.
