Marseille have appointed Rudi Garcia as manager on a three-year deal.

Michel was fired by Marseille in April.

Marseille have started the Ligue 1 campaign slowly and currently find themselves in 12th place after nine matches.

"When I met Rudi, he told me immediately that he wanted to win the Champions League," Frank McCourt said.

"I knew straight away that he was the man to be Olympique de Marseille coach. He's a man of great character with a lot of energy and we share the same vision of OM and also the identical determination to put that into action."
