OM still haven’t found a coach as we approach the end of June. The track leading to Christophe Galtier is gaining more and more weight, despite his recent past at PSG. A context of rivalry which makes it impossible for Jérôme Rothen to come.
OM are still at a standstill before their summer marathon with the transfer window but especially the qualifying matches for the Champions League. More serious than the recruits, OM still does not have a coach to succeed Igor Tudor. The Marcelo Gallardo and Paulo Fonseca tracks having closed, the choices are fewer for Pablo Longoria. Marcelino still holds the rope for the Marseille president but the latter does not rule out taking Christophe Galtier. Unofficially dismissed by PSG, the former Lille and Nice coach would not refuse his training club.
Galtier at OM, it’s unconscious for Rothen
A PSG-OM transfer that would remain bizarre for lovers of Olympique de Marseille. Few of them have forgiven Galtier’s choice to join their powerful rival. For this reason, Jérôme Rothen insists on his opposition to this arrival. More than the technician, it is the man and his liabilities that raise questions for the RMC consultant. In his show Rothen ignites, he urged Pablo Longoria to think carefully about the consequences of such a choice vis-à-vis his audience.

” I stick to my positions from last week when the news came out that Christophe Galtier could join OM. His name just pops up because they can’t find a coach. They had no plan B, plan C etc. (…) It’s not against him, so much the better for him that he finds a job fairly quickly and the desire to train. But, I think it’s a very bad idea for his privacy, for everything. I don’t encourage people to threaten him and go beyond that, but unfortunately that’s what will happen. It’s very complicated to move from PSG, which he defended, even more so in the Marseille-Paris context where he stayed. I still don’t understand how Pablo Longoria who knows football puts that aside “, he analyzed. Suffice to say that Marcelino would have to quickly come to an agreement with the Marseille club to avoid Galtier a poisoned gift.
