Marseille coach Marcelino will return to the Vélodrome this Thursday. Villarreal face Olympique de Marseille in the Europa League.

The Spaniard only managed seven matches for the French club last summer. “I’m sorry for the supporters,” Marcelingo lamented, like Longoria describing football as “cruel’ “When the stadium is full, it’s very beautiful. The atmosphere they (the supporters) create is worth living,” he maintained.
