Marseille manager Bruno Genesio says the club’s board has given him assurances over its long-term plans for the team and his position, despite the side’s poor start to the season.
Reports had suggested Genesio could leave the club. However, he says Marseille’s leadership has reaffirmed its commitment to the club’s development strategy and his work as head coach.
Marseille were forced to sell several key players during the summer because of a financial crisis, including Mason Greenwood, Quinten Timber and Facundo Medina. The club did not sign any replacements.
The team have lost five of their first six matches in all competitions and are second from bottom of Ligue 1.
