OM ‍: Payet denounces the Tudor dictator

Like PSG, OM are still looking for a new coach after the departure of Igor Tudor. The Croatian did not leave only good memories among Marseille players.

OM are struggling internally to find their new coach. Pablo Longoria really appreciates the profile of Marcelo Gallardo when Javier Ribalta has his sights on Fabio Grosso. The file around the coach should accelerate in the coming hours. But one thing is certain, OM were marked by the Igor Tudor era. The Marseille players have not only kept good memories with the former Hellas Verona. Igor Tudor’s management methods are contested, in particular by Dimitri Payet. The OM legend has not been kind to his former coach in recent hours…

Payet, Tudor is expensive

During an interview without language of wood granted to France Soccer, Payet did not fail to scratch Igor Tudor. In question, his misplaced authoritarian side: “It’s true that during the first sessions and, in particular, during the internship in England at the end of July, we suddenly discovered someone tough and brutal. In his way of being, in his words. He was authoritarian. It was obviously completely different from Jorge Sampaoli. We were a little shocked. (…) This is where the group was surprised because no one was used to that. Me, everyone knows that I am emotional, so I no longer need a coach to have a big brother or father relationship. With a little hindsight, he was very hard, even exaggeratedly hard, at the beginning to mark his territory, his arrival, to put things in place. And then it got a little better. Not cool, no, but better, a little more flexible ». That has the merit of being clear. If his future is in question at OM, when he only has one year of contract left, Payet has not planned to pack up. His intention is to stay and continue to be able to bring to the Phocaeans. He will be very attentive to the identity of the new coach and his game plan.
