In search of a coach to replace Igor Tudor and Christophe Galtier, OM and PSG are monitoring the situation of Marcelo Gallardo.
After eight years at the head of River Plate, where he won everything, Marcelo Gallardo wants to try his luck in Europe. The Argentinian coach is popular and in recent days he has been particularly targeted by Olympique de Marseille, which is actively looking for a successor to Igor Tudor. Like Christophe Galtier, Marcelino or even Vincenzo Italiano, the Argentinian technician is on OM’s shortlist… but not only.
Gallardo closer to OM than to PSG?
Marcelo Gallardo is also appreciated by Paris Saint-Germain, although he is not the favorite to take over from Christophe Galtier since Julian Nagelsmann is already in Paris to negotiate with the staff of the Parisian club. According to information from Florent Torchut, journalist for L’Equipe, things will speed up in the coming days with regard to Marcelo Gallardo since the former River Plate coach is expected in Europe to discuss with his courtiers and quickly be fixed as to his future.

“Marcelo Gallardo is expected to travel to Europe in the next few days. After 6 months sabbatical the “Muñeco” wants to train and is looking for an ambitious project. Marseille is a credible candidate. Deprived of the European Cup, Monaco is less so. At PSG, it’s one option among others. says the reporter. As for the insiders of the #TeamOM, we are advancing a little more. The @lepetitom account claiming that negotiations are underway between OM and Marcelo Gallardo on the basis of a one-year contract plus an optional second year.
Advanced negotiations between Gallardo and Longoria?
The Argentinian coach’s staff in Marseille is said to be at the heart of the discussions and could include six people and an announcement would be possible at the start of next week. Pablo Longoria is of course leading the discussions with his right-hand man Javier Ribalta. For Olympian supporters, this track has something to seduce. Much more than that leading to Christophe Galtier, mentioned by La Provence on Wednesday evening and which is absolutely not unanimous in the Olympian microcosm.
