Marseille has announced that it has renewed the contract of manager Lucien Favre until the end of the season, with the club also confirming that it will secure full transfer budget support for the upcoming campaign.
The news comes after a difficult period for the French side, who struggled to find their form last season and finished in mid-table in Ligue 1. However, Favre's leadership and tactical acumen have been praised by fans and analysts alike, and the club is confident that he can guide them back towards success this term.
In addition to the contract extension, Marseille has also confirmed that it will receive full transfer budget support from its owners, which will allow the club to bring in new talent during the January window and beyond. This move is seen as a major boost for the team, as it will give them the resources they need to compete at the highest level and challenge for silverware.
Favre himself expressed his delight at the news, saying: "I am very happy to be staying at Marseille. The club has shown great faith in me and my work, and I am determined to repay their trust with consistent performances on the pitch."
With both the contract renewal and transfer budget support secured, Marseille looks set to be one of the most competitive sides in Ligue 1 next season. With Favre leading the charge and the financial backing to match, the future looks bright for the club and its supporters.
