The leaders of OM would have decided on the future of Gennaro Gattuso, in delicacy on the Olympian sidelines.
Olympique de Marseille can no longer do it. Since the start of 2024, Gennaro Gattuso’s squad has only won one small match, against the amateurs from Thionville in the Coupe de France. Again Friday evening, at the opening of the 21st day of Ligue 1, the Ciel et Blanc were held by FC Metz (1-1), in front of their audience at the Vélodrome stadium.
At the end of the match, Gennaro Gattuso could not deny the obvious. “We can talk about a mini-crisis. We haven’t won in five matches and it may seem utopian to talk about this fourth place. But if I don’t believe in this goal, I can go home.”thus released the transalpine technician at post-match press conference.
Pablo Longoria has decided
Before giving a positive speech: “The club, the fans and I asked for a different mentality, with more commitment. And it showed. The team has done a lot. (…) I cannot say that the players did not give what was necessary in terms of commitment. We saw what we asked for and we must continue. »
Despite the turmoil within the club and the criticism towards him, Gennaro Gattuso remains combative and does not intend to leave the ship before the end of the season, indicates the daily The Team. For their part, the Marseille leaders are also determined to continue, at least, until the end of the season with their Italian coach. The latter, however, will be expected at the turning point on Thursday, during the Europa League play-off against Shakhtar Donetsk.
