The future of Pablo Longoria at Olympique de Marseille has been the subject of much discussion over the past week.
At the heart of a week marked by the arrival of Jean-Louis Gasset after the sidelining of Gennaro Gattuso, the future of Pablo Longoria is still fueling debate in the Marseille city. The hypothesis of a departure of the Spanish leader at the end of the season has gained weight in recent days, with the idea that power would shift to the highest levels of the club.
However, Pablo Longoria assures that he wants to continue to fulfill his mission beyond the current season. “I said it in positive times and I say it again now that the situation is not what we want. Credibility comes from results. Will I be here in the future? Yes, that’s what I want and I love being here. A lot of people talk about me, know me but with all the respect that I have grown since I arrived at the club. I realize that many people speak on my behalf and don’t know me.” explained the president of OM.
OM: Longoria’s clear message
The leader’s personal interventions on Tuesday were somewhat overshadowed by the subject of the day: the enthronement of Jean-Louis Gasset. But Longoria did have a message to convey. The pressure at OM is normal. Last season was psychologically harder than this one. Last season a lot of things weren’t right. Hard knocks are the world of sport.”
“My determination is clear: we want to finish the season well, we want to find the energy at the club to change the dynamic. Objective number two, you have to find stability. Yes, there have been mistakes and we will continue to make them but we have to continue to work hard to find a pattern and get results. We must have rules, respect for the institution and with a lot of sporting results. This is what we want to do in Marseille,” he concluded.
