The 46-year-old tactician has built a formidable reputation across Europe, particularly during his recent tenures at Brighton and Marseille. During his time on the English south coast, he oversaw 89 matches, securing 38 victories and subsequently took his expansive, attacking philosophy to France. Before his mutual departure in February, he managed 69 games across all competitions for the Ligue 1 outfit, boasting an impressive return of 39 wins. Despite a challenging final campaign that included 12 defeats in 33 matches, his high-risk style remains highly coveted.
