Marseille extend Garcia, Zubizarreta contracts

Marseille have given new contracts to head coach Rudi Garcia and sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta, the club announced on Saturday.

The two have each signed new deals, tying them to the club until 2021.

Garcia intially joined the club in 2016 following stints with Roma and Lille that included a 2010-11 Ligue 1 title with the latter and two second-place finishes in Serie A with the former.

The manager led Marseille to the Europa League final last season, although his side were beaten soundly by Atletico Madrid 3-0 behind an Antoine Griezmann brace and a goal from Gabi.
