Olympique de Marseille would have targeted the successor of Jean-Louis Gasset.
There no longer seems to be room for doubt today… After taking over from Gennaro Gattuso at the end of February on the OM bench, Jean-Louis Gasset should, barring a major twist, leave his post at the end of of the season. Marseille leaders have been working for several weeks to find a replacement.
According to information published this Friday by the newspaper L’Equipe, the Marseille leaders have made Paulo Fonseca, current coach of Losc and at the end of his contract on June 30, their top priority. Yes, but the deal is still far from being concluded for OM.
Other avenues also studied
“ It remains the priority, but in this context, the talks are less obvious. There is a lot of uncertainty on the OM side, about its presence in the European Cup next season, about the shape of the squad, about the envelope which will allow it to be strengthened… », Confided a person close to the matter to the sports daily.
In the event of failure, the Olympian decision-makers would have checked two other names to succeed Jean-Louis Gasset, again according to the sports media. These would be Franck Haise, highly appreciated by Pablo Longoria, and Sergio Conceiçao, who would be favored by Mehdi Benatia. The trails leading to Habib Beye, Thiago Motta, Vincenzo Italiano and Christophe Galtier were also studied.
