For the 2002/03 season he returned to the second division and strengthened the then promoted Eintracht Trier . After two seasons in which Trier had nothing to do with relegation, he rose for the third time in 2004/05 with a club from the 2nd division. Only on the last day of the match Trier slipped to a relegation zone. "Marello" played his 380th and last second division game on the 31st matchday of this season.

In the entire history of the second division, there are only twelve players who have made more than 380 Marell appearances.
