Former Chelsea and Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas has returned to management at Marseille on a two-year contract.
The Portuguese has spent 18 months away from the dugout.
Marseille owner Frank McCourt told the club’s official website of Villas-Boas’ arrival: “We are delighted to hire a coach whose success is recognised at the highest level in Europe and worldwide.
“Andre Villas-Boas’ philosophy and approach to the game aligns with what we want for OM and will help revitalise our project after a disappointing campaign.
“Our expectations are still great and we are making the changes necessary to achieve our goals.”
