The Legacy
Gerard Gili managed Olympique Marseille for the 1996-1997 season, leading the club back into Division 1 after their promotion from the second tier. Adidas manufactured the away shirt worn throughout this return to the top flight, which carried the Parmalat sponsor on the front. Andreas Köpke provided experience in goal, while Jean-Philippe Durand operated in midfield alongside Marc Libbra up front. Marseille finished 11th in the league table during this campaign, balancing the challenge of immediate re-establishment against established top-division opponents.
