Marseille has confirmed that the club's manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, has renewed his contract with the team until the end of the current season and beyond. The Portuguese coach was initially contracted to manage Marseille for one year but he has now been given a further two years extension.
The news comes as a relief for the fans of the French side who have seen their team struggle in recent seasons under previous managers. Nuno Espirito Santo has been praised for his work at Marseille so far, leading the team to a fifth-place finish last season in Ligue 1, which is the second-best result of any French club this season.
In addition to his coaching duties, Nuno Espirito Santo has also been involved in the transfer market during the summer transfer window. He has made several high-profile signings, including the likes of Memphis Depay and Alphonse Areola, and has been credited with revamping the squad.
Despite the success of his first season in charge, Nuno Espirito Santo will need to continue to perform well if he wants to secure another contract with Marseille. With the support of the club's board and financial backing from the owners, he should be able to achieve this goal and continue to lead the team towards success.
