If Pablo Longoria leaves at the end of the season, a name would emerge internally to take over from the Spanish leader.
New thunderclap in sight in Marseille? After being heckled by OM supporters, Pablo Longoria seriously considered slamming the door. But after reflection, the former leader of Valencia finally decided to continue his mission at the head of the Marseille club. But for how much longer?
Indeed, a departure of Pablo Longoria cannot be ruled out at the end of the season. And if this scenario were to occur, the deputy general manager in charge of the club’s finances, Stéphane Tessier would be in pole position to take over, as assured by an employee of Ciel et Blanc in La Provence.
“A guy who gets his hands dirty”
“Tessier is competent, knows what he wants and he knows football. It is also a killer who arrived in a logic of savings. Internally, everyone is saying that he will become president if Pablo leaves at the end of the season”thus confided an internal source to the regional media.
“ He’s a discreet guy, who doesn’t put himself forward, adds another interlocutor. A guy who gets his hands dirty, a real hard worker who knows the inner workings of a football club. He knows how to manage a club. Initially, like all financial directors, he was not the most popular. When you experience opulence and the guy arrives to close the floodgates, that doesn’t just make people happy. »
