During an interview with La Provence, Pablo Longoria returned to the departure of Argentine coach Jorge Sampaoli in the summer of 2022.
Olympique de Marseille is experiencing an unprecedented crisis. Monday evening, the meeting between the leaders of the supporters groups and the club management turned into a settling of scores and plunged the Marseille club into a thick fog, particularly with the resignation of Marcelino.
This Wednesday, Pablo Longoria finally spoke publicly about the exchange which took place between the club’s staff and the ultras during an interview given to Provence. While he spoke about the threats received by all the leaders of OM, about its future and even about Igor Tudor, the Marseille president notably wanted to return to the departure of Jorge Sampaoli in the summer 2022.
“Sampaoli told me: “You have to go with me””
“Sorry to say this, but when Jorge Sampaoli left, we had a very long conversation. They say I made him resign… So let’s keep talking and we’re close! He told me: “I’m leaving, you have to leave with me because they’re going to come and take you.” » I was unconscious and I didn’t see the situation coming. He was talking about the system in general,” told the boss of OM for the regional daily.
