Riots, death threats, acts of violence: the French football club Olympique Marseille has been harassed by ultras and their leader for years. Marcelino is not the first coach to flee.
A year ago, Eintracht Frankfurt played at Olympique Marseille in the group stage of the Champions League. The Frankfurt supporters don’t have particularly fond memories of this away trip. At that time, Marseille fans began serious riots, as a result of which a German was seriously injured and had to be operated on several times.
The situation with the southern French is also extremely delicate this season, and as has been the case for years, it is mainly due to the violent part of the Olympique supporters. The situation escalated recently after the goalless draw against Toulouse at the Stade Vélodrome, when the Ultras players were summoned to the corner for a report. They were insulted in the worst possible way and some were even threatened. At this point, Olympique Marseille (OM) was still undefeated in the league.
