Newly appointed Director General of OM, Stéphane Tessier has what it takes to take over from Pablo Longoria as president of the Marseille club.
On paper, Stéphane Tessier is responsible for all the main components of Olympique de Marseille.
Appointed this week as Director General, he will watch over “ five key areas, namely Operations, Business, Administration and Finance, Communication and Sports“, said a press release from the Provençal club on Wednesday.

This same source highlights Stéphane Tessier, “ a discreet guy, who doesn’t put himself forward. A guy who gets his hands dirty, a real hard worker who knows the inner workings of a football club. Managing a club, he knows how to do ite. »
