The Legacy
Rolland Courbis took charge of Olympique Marseille for the 1997-1998 campaign as the club sought to improve their standing in Ligue 1. The board backed the new manager by securing high-profile talent to bolster the side. Laurent Blanc joined the backline to provide defensive stability, while Fabrizio Ravanelli arrived from Middlesbrough to spearhead the attack. Christophe Dugarry also moved to the club to support the forward line during the league schedule. Despite these significant investments in the starting eleven, the team finished fourth in the final table, narrowly missing out on a spot in the Champions League qualification rounds.
Key Moment
Marseille beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 away at the Parc des Princes in the November 1997 Le Classique.
