Paris (AFP) – Rudi Garcia was named as the new coach of French giants Marseille on Thursday, just three days after US tycoon Frank McCourt completed his purchase of the club, RTL radio reported.
Garcia, 52, is set to replace Franck Passi, and will reportedly be in the dugout for Sunday’s showdown with bitter rivals Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes.
The Frenchman guided Lille to a league and French Cup double in 2011 and was last in charge of Roma before he was sacked in January.
