Sampaoli is in Marseille.

The new coach of Olympique de Marseille, Jorge Sampaoli landed this Wednesday morning at Marignane airport (Bouches-du-Rhône).

Arrived from Brazil, where he trained Atletico Mineiro, Jorge Sampaoli will most likely have to respect a septaine due to Covid-19 and the presence of a variant in Brazil.

He should only sit on the OM bench for the match against Rennes on March 10.

Several supporters, and journalists, were waiting for him on his arrival but the Argentinian was exfiltrated by the club, and no one could see him.

Jorge Sampaoli will meet Franck McCourt, the owner of OM, who has been in Marseille since Monday morning.

This one made only a very brief appearance on Wednesday noon in training, he passed in front of the journalists present to film the training without giving them the slightest glance.
