Rudi Garcia has officially been confirmed as Marseille Coach, after Roma terminated his contract.

It emerged earlier today that the Frenchman was close to taking over at Stade Velodrome, but he was still under contract with the Giallorossi after his sacking last season.

Now it has been confirmed that his contract has been resolved, meaning he’s free to continue his career in Ligue 1.

“AS Roma can confirm that the contracts of Rudi Garcia and his coaching assistants have been terminated by mutual consent,” a statement on the Lupi’s website announced.

“After arriving at the club in the summer of 2013, the Frenchman went on to spend two-and-a-half years in the Giallorossi dugout – recording 60 wins, 32 draws and 22 defeats in 114 games in charge at the Stadio Olimpico.

“Garcia helped Roma set a record 10 straight wins at the start of the 2013-14 season, a league record, before guiding the team to two consecutive second-place finishes in Serie A.

“He left his post as head coach in January 2016.

“The club would like to wish Garcia and his assistants all the best for future.”

It was then confirmed that Garcia will be the new Marseille boss.

"We're delighted to announced that Rudi Garcia is the new Coach for Olympique Marseille," the Ligue 1 club announced on Twitter with the hashtag "welcome Rudi".
