Pablo Longoria and his friend Marcelino made an important decision, which took all OM followers by surprise.
Pablo Longoria and Marcelino will soon no longer be OM employees. While they were believed inclined to continue their mission and ignore criticism from supporters, the two men apparently made the decision to leave their positions.
Longoria and Marcelino slam the door
According to the Spanish media Paridazo Cope, the Spanish duo would have decided to leave after a crisis meeting with their boss Frank McCourt. The American did everything to convince them to stay, but this speech did not carry much weight in the face of the feeling of insecurity they had. A feeling following the electric meeting with the groups of supporters which took place the day before.
It’s no surprise to see Longoria and Marcelino leaving the club at the same time. They have been linked by a strong friendship for almost two decades. There is therefore a lot of solidarity between them and if one chooses to throw in the towel the other can only choose to follow.
OM facing a big storm
The news, if confirmed, is likely to shake the club. It is also useful to remember that this earthquake comes 48 hours before an important match in the Europa League against Ajax Amsterdam. After this meeting, others will also follow, just as important in the championship, against PSG and AS Monaco. The Olympian staff, which can now only be embodied by McCourt, will have to quickly choose a coach. Many names are already put forward in the media, while Jean-Pierre Papin emerges as the best solution for a short interim.
