Andoni Zubizarreta has been hired by Marseille as their sporting director on a three-year contract

Zubizarreta was fired by Barcelona in early 2015.

Zubizarreta will be given a budget of around €200 million ahead of next season.

Frank McCourt is overhauling the club as he assumes ownership.

“The goal is to win the league,” he told L’Eqiupe. “My number one goal is to win Ligue 1, the second is to win the title more often that we don’t and the third is to win the Champions League. We have to manage to do that in that order.”
