José Anigo put an end to Olympique de Marseille’s series of four winless matches across all competitions. Marseille secured a victory against Toulouse on Wednesday evening with a scoreline of 2-1 in the round of 16 of the Coupe de la Ligue. The win qualified OM for the quarter-finals of the competition, marking the team’s return to success.
Since José Anigo took over as the coach, Marseille has shown a different and improved performance, achieving their first victory under his guidance. Initially appointed until the winter break, Anigo has now indicated his intention to remain as OM coach until the end of the season.
Alaixys Romao, a midfielder for Marseille, sees Anigo’s continued presence as a positive development, stating, “It’s rather a good thing because, José, we know him well.” Romao emphasizes the familiarity with Anigo’s working style, making it easier for the players to adapt. He acknowledges Anigo’s contribution in bringing desire and professionalism to the team, which has been positively felt in Marseille.
