Olympique Marseille has officially announced the appointment of Gennaro Gattuso as their new head coach. Gattuso takes over after Marcelino's brief tenure at the start of the season and will face the challenge of improving the club's Ligue 1 standings.

Marseille currently sits in eighth place in the Ligue 1 table, with nine points from two wins and three draws in six matches. The team's recent failure to qualify for the Champions League added to the pressure on the coaching staff.

With this appointment, Gattuso will be tasked with revitalizing the squad and guiding Olympique Marseille to better results in the French top-flight.
