Sampaoli had the following to say on the move:
“I have been told my entire life that Marseille is a passion. That the Vélodrome lights up when the team enters the stadium. Marseille is a club of the people and I recognise myself in that spirit. We are not here to hide: we are going to play hard. When I received this proposition, I dreamed of partying in the city. In the world, there are calm places and there are intense places. I want to be in the latter places and I accepted without hesitating.”
