Many French clubs are looking for a coach, and the profile of Marcelo Gallardo is very popular. The Argentinian has however made his preference known.

Popular trainer in South America, Marcelo Gallardo is preparing to arrive in Europe. The former playmaker has already played in France in his playing career, and his name is mentioned in several French clubs. AS Monaco, which separated from Philippe Clément at the end of the season, dreamed of seeing El Muñeco (The Doll) sit on the bench of Louis-II, in a club where he has already played. At the same time, OM suffered the resignation of Igor Tudor and targeted the Argentinian for his ability to transcend his teams, and to seek titles as was the case with River Plate. The 47-year-old coach has the enormous advantage of being free during this transfer window, but he nevertheless intends to take his time to choose well.

Gallardo, England makes him dream

Thus, according to Nice Matin, an arrival in Ligue 1 is not his first idea, and Gallardo intends to take up a position in the Premier League instead. Places are even more expensive on the other side of the Channel, but France, and therefore Monaco, Marseille, even Nice, are therefore a plan B for someone who has also played at PSG. Be careful, however, not to play with fire, European clubs want to find their coach very quickly, and Monaco has already fallen back on several tracks, with in particular the former coach of Leeds Jesse Marsch very close to Paul Mitchell, the sporting director of AS Monaco. For his part Pablo Longoria confessed on Monday to study many avenues to find his future coach, and intends to fulfill his mission within ten days at most.
