Deschamps, who played 124 times for the Bianconeri, took up a coaching role in Turin in 2006 after the club had been relegated to Serie B as a result of the Calciopoli scandal.
He led Juventus back into Serie A at the end of following season, but despite his convincing work, he resigned as coach right after.
"My departure from Juve remains a regret, a mistake that learnt me one thing - never make an immediate decision," Deschamps told L'Équipe.
"I've paid for such an experience. I have been labelled 'unmanageable' but by staying at Marseille I can show that labels are sometimes wrong.
"I stayed at OM because it was my first option, because the major shareholders have always shown exemplary behaviour towards me."
