In recent hours, the rumor of an interest from OM for Christophe Galtier has appeared. An astonishing choice for the one who has led PSG for the past 12 months. Jérôme Rothen is against it, thinking above all of the risks run by the former Parisian coach.
Chaining PSG and OM in stride on the bench, an extremely rare feat that almost reaches out to Christophe Galtier. Landed after only a year in the capital, the native of Marseille is free on the market with an interesting CV. He has just won his second title of champion of France in Paris and his leadership side has been confirmed almost everywhere. According to the latest information, this cocktail inspires Pablo Longoria, still looking for a replacement for Igor Tudor at OM. But, the Marseille president is taking risks with this choice. Despite his past as a player, assistant coach of OM and his childhood love for the Olympians, Galtier is no longer in the odor of sanctity at the Vélodrome.
At OM this summer, Galtier would take the maximum risk
OM lovers are far from having forgiven him for his one-year stopover in Paris. A context that would make his arrival on the bench all the more difficult this summer. Beyond OM, it is Christophe Galtier who has every interest in refusing this transfer. This is the opinion of Jérôme Rothen, as he expressed in his show Rothen ignites on RMC. Emotionally, the situation would simply be explosive for Galtier according to the former Parisian player.
🗣💬 “From one year to the next, it’s impossible. You defended PSG and now you’re going to return to Marseille?”@RothenJerome would find it inconceivable that Christophe Galtier would coach OM just after his time at PSG due to the historic rivalry between the two clubs. pic.twitter.com/XBiNkFQ97G

“ I find that surprising. Pablo Longoria’s speech already on the desire to try to recruit Christophe Galtier. And even Christophe Galtier. Afterwards, he remains a coach ready today to take up a challenge, if he is not tired of his year in Paris. I have doubts about that too because there have been sporting problems, in the club, in private too. Christophe may need to regenerate and not start again on a very complex challenge at OM. (…) I think that, from one year to the next, without having a club between the two, it’s impossible (to go from PSG to OM). I don’t understand. You defended PSG as you had to defend it for a Marseillais and there you are going to go back to Marseille?! “, he developed. A negative analysis which forgets only one point: OM is not a club like the others. In other words, everything can quickly be reversed on the Canebière, sometimes making the pariahs the heroes of the Vélodrome, especially when the results and the mentality follow.
