Marcelo Gallardo at OM, a first denial

The Spanish press is on fire this Monday around the possible arrival of Marcelo Gallardo on the OM bench. But in the entourage of the Argentine technician, we deny any agreement with Marseille for the moment…

Things seem to be accelerating at the start of the week for the succession of Igor Tudor at Olympique de Marseille. More than a week after the announcement of the resignation of the Croatian coach, two names seem to emerge: those of Fabio Grosso and Marcelo Gallardo. According to the information delivered this Monday by the AS newspaper, the Argentinian coach met Pablo Longoria on Saturday for the Champions League final and the two men are rather on the same wavelength, which suggests that the former manager of River Plate will soon take control of Olympique de Marseille.

More than ever, Marcelo Gallardo seems on pole. But nothing has been done for the moment and his entourage wanted to let it be known. If the entourage of Marcelo Gallardo has not denied the discussions in progress with Pablo Longoria to come to OM, it has however been said to the South American media that there is no agreement for the moment. The former River Plate coach seems to be very interested in the prospect of coming to Marseille, but for him it is also essential not to close other doors, in the event that Pablo Longoria finally chooses another coach.

Alexis Sanchez decisive in the arrival of Gallardo?

However, this seems unlikely as the talks with Marcelo Gallardo seem to be advanced. AS even explained that the Argentine coach and Pablo Longoria had discussed the case of Alexis Sanchez, at the end of his contract with OM on June 30 and which would be very favorable to the arrival of Marcelo Gallardo in Marseille. The arrival of the Argentinian could even be decisive in the extension of El Nino Maravilla. Something to make Marseille fans want to see the former AS Monaco player on the Marseille bench.
