Contents
This will be the first season in ten years that Marseille will not be participating in the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League, having finished sixth in the 2013–14 Ligue 1 season. The club will be coached by legendary Argentine tactician Marcelo Bielsa, who signed a two-year contract in May 2014.
This will also be the first season in which the side will play at the renovated Stade Vélodrome, with the stadium having completed renovations which took place over the last three years. Capacity will be up to 67,000 - from 48,000 last season, and 42,000 the season before. The stadium is rated five-star by UEFA, and will be used ahead of UEFA Euro 2016.
Players
French teams are limited to four players without EU citizenship. Hence, the squad list includes only the principal nationality of each player; several non-European players on the squad have dual citizenship with an EU country. Also, players from the ACP countries—countries in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific that are signatories to the Cotonou Agreement—are not counted against non-EU quotas due to the Kolpak ruling.
Current squad
As of 15 July 2014.Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.
