The French Ligue 1 club, Olympique de Marseille, has announced that it has extended the contract of its head coach, Lucien Favre, until the end of the 2026-2027 season. This is a significant development for the club as it shows their confidence in Favre's ability to lead them towards success.

Favre, who took over as Marseille's head coach last summer, has already had a positive impact on the team. He has helped to turn around their form and has guided them to several important victories this season. The renewed contract extension also comes at a crucial time for the club, with the team currently sitting in fifth place in the league table.

In addition to the contract extension, Marseille has also confirmed that they will be providing full budget support for Favre's coaching staff for the next three seasons. This means that they will be covering all of the costs associated with hiring and retaining the best coaches and staff members to help the team succeed.

Favre himself has expressed his delight at the news, saying: "I am very happy to have been able to extend my contract with Olympique de Marseille. I believe that we can achieve great things together and I look forward to continuing our journey under the guidance of the club."

This renewed commitment from the club to Favre and his coaching staff is a clear indication of their belief in him and his ability to take Marseille to new heights. With the contract extension and full budget support, there is no doubt that Marseille will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming season.
