To everyone’s surprise, Frank McCourt landed in a helicopter at the OM training center to meet the new coach and chat with Pablo Longoria. What finally launch the transfer window of the Provençal club?
After bringing Pablo Longoria and part of his staff to the United States to take stock of the season a few weeks ago, Frank McCourt decided to travel to Marseille to plan for the next exercise. The recovery has sounded at OM and the new coach is in place, waiting for future recruits and internationals who have not all returned. Nevertheless, the owner of the Marseille club landed in Marseille this Sunday to take stock with Pablo Longoria, but also to be officially presented to Marcelino, the new coach of OM. It was in a helicopter that Frank McCourt landed at the Commanderie training center, specifies La Provence, wanting in passing to demonstrate that he always took his role within the Marseille club as seriously. There is no doubt that, in addition to the introductory speech to the new coach and players, the American will be keen to take stock of the club’s situation with Pablo Longoria.
The transfer window finally launched this week?

Indeed, with only one recruit and no major sale, the OM transfer window is at a standstill, even if the late arrival of Marcelino also explains this rare caution among Marseille leaders. Everything should settle down in the next few days, even if the passage of Frank McCourt is above all likely to fuel the craziest rumours. Those who announced an owner to absent subscribers and eager to sell are at their expense, while others dream of seeing McCourt make a big check to allow an ambitious transfer window this summer. The future will tell, while OM ensures that it is moving forward in silence on many issues, and also preparing good sales to renew the workforce.
