Igor Tudor having given up his post as coach of Olympique de Marseille, Pablo Longoria must find him a successor. And the boss of OM will probably turn once again to Italy.
Massimiliano Allegri having received an offer which cannot be refused from a Saudi club (30 million euros over 3 years), the position of coach of Juventus will surely become available. Enough to allow Igor Tudor to bounce back, the Croatian technician having resigned from OM. All eyes are now on Pablo Longoria and Javier Ribalta who must find the one who will lead Marseille next season. Several names have already been mentioned, but this Sunday Sky Sport Italy claim that the hottest track leads Olympique de Marseille to Fabio Grosso.
The Italian world champion, who knows Ligue 1 since he wore the Olympique Lyonnais jersey between 2007 and 2009, has just brought Frosisone up in Serie A (1st in Serie B with 80 pts). What obviously remind him of the good memories of Ribalta who already wanted him when he was sports director in Parma. This more than successful season has inevitably put Grosso back on the radar.

The Italian media specifies that on the side of Frosinone, we are informed of the interest of Olympique de Marseille for Fabio Grosso. And even if the 45-year-old technician has brought a lot to the club, we will not oppose his departure at all costs, aware that OM have the financial means to make an offer impossible to refuse to Grosso. For the moment, the ball is in the court of the Marseille club. To date, the promoted in Serie A has not seen anything coming from Marseille, but we know that things could suddenly accelerate once Pablo Longoria has validated his choice by Frank McCourt. There is really no time to lose since the third in Ligue 1 will have to qualify for the Champions League in the middle of summer. This does not leave a lot of time for whoever will be appointed OM coach.
