### Cengiz Under's Performance at Marseille: A Look into His Latest Struggles

In the bustling world of European football, few names carry as much weight as Cengiz Under. The former German national midfielder and former manager has made significant contributions to club success in Germany and abroad, but his latest stint at Marseille has not been without its challenges.

Under took over as Marseille’s head coach in May 2019 after leading Borussia Dortmund to a Bundesliga title in his first season. However, the French side struggled under his leadership, finishing with only 14 wins in 38 matches, ranking them twelfth in the league table. This performance was far from what fans or even Under expected from a seasoned manager who had previously led clubs like Bayern Munich and Leverkusen to impressive results.

One of the primary reasons for Marseille's struggles was Under's reliance on players he believed would excel under his style of play, which often involved more possession-based football and a tactical approach that favored passing and quick transitions. While some of these players, such as Antoine Griezmann and Lucas Digne, did contribute positively to Marseille's team, they were not enough to compensate for the overall lack of cohesion and execution on the field.

Another factor contributing to Marseille's difficulties was the squad's lack of depth. The club had signed several young talent prospects during Under's tenure, but many of them failed to make the cut in the starting lineup due to injuries or lack of development. This lack of experienced players on the bench also hampered Marseille's ability to adapt to changing situations on the pitch.

The financial situation at Marseille was another pressing issue. The club faced significant debts and had to navigate through complex transfer negotiations, which added to the pressure on Under's management team. These financial pressures may have affected Under's decision-making processes and contributed to the slow progress of Marseille's team.

Despite these challenges, Under remains committed to his role at Marseille. He has emphasized the importance of teamwork, discipline, and patience in building a successful club. Under believes that Marseille has potential, but it will take time and effort to unlock that potential.

As Marseille continues to work towards improving their form, Cengiz Under will be closely monitored by both supporters and the coaching staff. Whether he can turn Marseille around remains to be seen, but Under's experience and passion for the game give him a strong foundation to build upon.
