After considering leaving his post last night, Pablo Longoria will remain president of Olympique de Marseille. He spoke with the owner, Frank McCourt.
Pablo Longoria will stay at Olympique de Marseille. The president of the Marseille club decided to stay in post, the day after a stormy meeting with certain groups of supporters Monday afternoon.
The rumors of the departure of the Spanish leader were founded. During the night from Monday to Tuesday, Longoria would have actually thought about leaving OM, according to L’Equipe. The Olympian president would have been “shocked” by the threats addressed to his coach Marcelino, who for his part announced his resignation to his players. L’Equipe specifies that, according to supporters and management, there was no death threat against the Spanish coach, contrary to what some media reported.
While a scent of crisis floats around his club, Longoria has decided to remain at the head of the club. He spoke this Tuesday with owner Frank McCourt, and now rules out the idea of ​​resignation. If Marcelino’s departure is confirmed, Longoria should start looking for a new coach, while it is Jean-Pierre Papin who should lead Valentin Rongier and his teammates on Thursday evening in the Europa League, at Ajax. .
