OM would have made up their minds about the desired arrival of Paulo Fonseca on the bench this summer. The trail leading to Franck Haise, in fact, would gain momentum.
According to Marseille’s indiscretions, it was this Wednesday that Pablo Longoria had planned to speak with Paulo Fonseca to discuss the possible arrival of the Portuguese coach on the OM bench during the off-season. A few weeks ago, the Olympians presented a tempting offer to the former Roma coach, who would also be in advanced contacts with AC Milan. A destination that the person concerned would favor with his family, despite a lesser offer from the Lombards.
Paulo Fonseca’s prevarications would have got the better of the conviction of the Marseille staff; so much so that President Longoria’s priority file has taken on the appearance of an impasse in recent hours. The Italian media at the same time are categorical: the Losc strategist would have chosen the Rossoneri – the journalist Gianluca Di Marzio announcing the consequence of warming up the track leading to Sergio Conceiçao.
However, the former Nantes player, who has officiated at Porto for the last seven years, is not the Marseille management’s plan B. This Wednesday, another name is circulating insistently behind the scenes at OM: that of Franck Haise. Under contract with RC Lens until 2027, the latter has been enigmatic these days about its future. Especially since a recent event among the Sang et Or seems to push him to a new challenge.
An unfortunate start from Lens
The correspondent Sacha Tavolieri, a specialist in Belgian football with an extensive network in the north of France, insists on the recorded departure of recruitment coordinator Frédéric Hébert, an executive to whom Franck Haise was very close. “ At RC Lens, the man who protected Frédéric Hébert was Franck Haise. The coach of the Artesian club did not intervene with his superiors to retain Hébert. If he has not done so, it is because Franck Haise does not (anymore?) have the arguments and the internal strength to keep him in office. A departure is therefore on the table… », note on social networks Sacha Tavolieri.
Last month, Pablo Longoria’s sports advisor, Medhi Benatia, informed the Artesian technician of OM’s interest in his work – a contact appreciated by the person concerned. Everything could settle down very quickly from now on; Marseille leaders wishing to complete the file for the new coach by the end of May.
