Olympique de Marseille will be on all fronts during the next summer transfer window.
If Olympique de Marseille is preparing to significantly renew its squad, the priority issue for the days to come concerns the coach. Jean-Louis Gasset finished his term on the bench, but the identity of his successor is not yet known.
Among the names most cited to take charge of Olympique de Marseille is Paulo Fonseca. The LOSC coach has been made a priority by management, but this file is still far from being finalized, according to Daniel Riolo.
“Longoria and Benatia are messing with each other’s brains”
This week, the RMC journalist was quite pessimistic when discussing the soap opera of the next OM coach. “(Pablo) Longoria and (Mehdi) Benatia are in the process of picking each other’s brains and things are heating up because of this subject because they cannot find it and believe that the file is complicated,” he said .
“There is a limit in their reasoning, it is that they want to mark the occasion and send a message on the name of the coach, continued Riolo. Which I can understand in relation to the failures of this year. But I don’t really agree. Wanting too much to mark the occasion, they embark on complicated paths. (Paulo) Fonseca, who was their priority, to hear that if he comes, it’s because he hasn’t found anything else, I don’t think it’s positive. There are not many renowned coaches who want to come to Marseille,” concluded the journalist, who did not hesitate to mention the name of Habib Beye.
