Jorge Sampaoli did a great job last season with Marseille, earning them the title of runner-up in France and returning them to the Champions League. As the management of the club led by Pablo Longoria did not fulfill their part of the deal with the Argentine and strengthened the team before the start of the pre-season, the temperamental expert parted ways with the club supersonically.However, the club from the far south of France responded promptly and only three days later not only found, but promoted Sampaoli’s replacement. Igor Tudor is the man who will lead the famous Velodrome team in the next two years.Sampaoli wanted Saliba, Griezmann and Sanches in MarseilleJust on the day that Sampaoli left, the Croatian expert jumped to the fore as a potential successor. Yesterday he arrived to Cote d’Azur, and already today he took over the team, got to know the players and had the first training session. In Marseille, they state that his ability to adapt, tactical skill and attacking style ideally fit into the club’s project and will give them continuity.Longoria did not miss the manner in which Tudor led the Italian Verona last season, from which he made the fifth most lethal attack in Serie A. Only Inter, Napoli, Lazio and the champion Milan were more lethal, and Tudor’s squad surpassed clubs such as Juventus, Roma and Fiorentina ##NAJAVA_MECA_6483450##In his career, Tudor was the helmsman of Croatian outfit Hajduk Split twice, he also led PAOK, Turkish Karabuk, Galatasaray, Udinese, and a year before he took over Verona, he worked as an assistant coach at Juventus in the season in which the Old Lady was led by Andrea Pirlo.So far this summer, Marseille have only brought the tall stopper Souleymane Isaak Toure from Le Havre, and we will see if Tudor will get some major reinforcement before the season in which he will also make his debut in the Champions League.
