Marcelino’s short adventure on the OM bench officially ended on Wednesday. The Marseille club explained why in a press release.
After Igor Tudor only stayed on his bench for a year, Olympique de Marseille did even better by seeing Marcelino leave after three months. Arriving this summer to take over from the Croatian coach, the Spaniard decided to leave, particularly due to the tense situation around the club. For its part, the Marseille club communicated on the subject and pointed the finger, without naming them, at the supporters having put pressure on the management during a meeting on Monday.
The climate is definitely particularly tense at OM, and the press release published Wednesday to formalize Marcelino’s departure made it felt. “In continuation of the press release published yesterday evening regarding the management team, Olympique de Marseille considers that the events of September 18 do not allow Marcelino and his technical staff to exercise the function in good conditions for which they were hired. »
OM “extremely disappointed”
And OM continued its explanations: “ As a result of this deplorable situation, Marcelino and his staff will not continue their mission at Olympique de Marseille. Given the context, the entire club is extremely disappointed to have to face the departure of a coach and technical staff, who only arrived in Marseille on June 23 and fully committed to the club, for non-sporting reasons. . » The interim will be taken over by Jacques Abardonado.
