Journalists and sports consultants were quick to react to the crazy Marseille news of the day. Notably Daniel Riolo and Eric Di Meco.
Since Monday, Olympique de Marseille has been going through a crisis. Marcelino and Pablo Longoria were successively announced on their departure by several media. Daniel Riolo first reacted to the possible resignation of the Spanish technician. “It has something worthy in the context of today’s football… In a situation of failure he leaves. It is certainly also a service that he renders to his friend President. An unusual situation in any case”wrote the sports journalist on X (formerly Twitter).
The editorialist also spoke about a possible departure of the Olympian president. “If Longoria also leaves, it’s a revolution at OM… And that necessarily hides something which is not just an average start to the season,” imagine Daniel Riolo, who will certainly discuss this crisis this Tuesday evening, in the show “L’After Foot” on RMC.
If Longoria also leaves, it’s a revolution at OM… and that necessarily hides something which is not just an average start to the season…

On the same radio, Eric Di Meco gave his opinion on the crisis facing the club in which he was a defender in the past. “ I was stunned. We had debates about the athlete, about what happened this weekend. At the end of these seven matches and in view of the upcoming calendar, there was reason to be worried sportingly. Be careful, it can get tricky quickly. The meeting scheduled for last night between leaders and supporters had been planned for a long time. It takes place every year before the start of the European Cup. It can’t just be the results. Even if the elimination in the Champions League was difficult to digest, it goes deeper. It will look further”underlines the former left-back, who therefore seems to share Daniel Riolo’s opinion.
