Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez didn’t wait too long to find a new team after reaching a contract termination agreement with Seria A side Inter Milan on Monday. Less than 24 hours later, Sanchez signed with French club Olympique de Marseille.

Reportedly, the 33-year-old player inked a two-year deal with the Ligue 1 side. He’s set to earn a yearly salary of around €2.5m per season.

Sanchez moves to Marseille after a mixed stint with Inter. He joined the Milan-based club on an initial loan from Manchester United in 2019 before committing to a permanent move a year later. However, he never managed to get comfortable on San Siro, scoring just 20 goals in 109 appearances in all competitions.

Sanchez, who also played for Barcelona at one point in his career, is best known for his stint with Arsenal. Between 2014 and 2018, the Chile international scored 80 goals for the Gunners and helped the club win two FA Cups.

When he arrives in France, Sanchez will be welcomed by a number of familiar faces he shared a locker room with while in London. Marseille has several former Arsenal players already on its roster, including midfielder Matteo Guendouzi and full-backs Sead Kolasinac and Nuno Tavares.

The past week has resulted in a situation of complete chaos at Olympique Marseille after disputes between ownership and sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta led to the Spaniard’s dismissal.

Now, it appears that manager Andre Villas-Boas, who has a close relationship with Zubizarreta, will not agree to continue coaching under a new sporting director.

He is expected to resign this weekend as Marseille’s manager.

Villas-Boas, who took over for the French club after the conclusion of the 2018-19 season, had put together one of the most successful campaigns in recent memory for Les Phocéens.

Marseille finished the Ligue 1 season, which was cut short thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, in second place, its best finish in many years which qualified them for next season’s Champions League for the first time since 2013-14.

Villas-Boas, formerly the coach at Porto, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur, has still not officially handed in his resignation, but all signs point to him doing so within the next few days.

This sudden uncertainty at Olympique Marseille puts the positivity generated by their strong 2019-20 season in jeopardy as they head into the 2020-21 in uncharted waters.

Now, Marseille owner Frank McCourt and president Jacques-Henri Eyraud will be tasked with finding both a new sporting director and a new coach.
