OM leaders are seriously considering Christophe Galtier to replace Jacques Abardonado as coach, according to RMC Sport.
From Paris to Marseille? After an eventful season on the PSG sidelines, Christophe Galtier did not wish to immediately return to service, preferring to take time for himself, despite several approaches during the summer, as he recently confided during a interview given to Canal Football Club. It must also be said that the 57-year-old coach is still under investigation after the accusations of racism made against him by his former sports director at Nice, Julien Fournier.
This does not prevent certain clubs from testing the waters with Christophe Galtier… According to information disclosed this Monday by RMC Sport, the former Losc coach was contacted by Pablo Longoria and his teams to take Jacques Abardonado’s place , appointed interim coach of the first team after the departure of Marcelino. The Olympian management had already thought about him this summer.
Longoria wants to survey supporters
“But in a period of conflict with certain groups of supporters, OM and the ex-PSG coach are asking themselves the same question: is this the time for Galtier to return to coach in his city, in “his” club? », however, wonders the sports media. And this is what would make the main interested party hesitate, who would also have the possibility of going into exile in Qatar, with a big contract at stake. But on the other hand, Galtier would be excited at the idea of ​​taking on the Marseille challenge.
It remains to be seen the position of the supporters. Still according to RMC Sport, in the event of a new meeting between representatives of supporter groups and the management of the Olympian club to try to calm the climate, the subject Christophe Galtier could be put on the table. Pablo Longoria would first like to know if the fans are ready to give him a chance. To be continued…
