Having played for Olympique de Marseille during his playing career, Christophe Dugarry keeps an informed eye on the news of the Marseille club.
It’s a soap opera that has fueled all the debates in Marseille since the start of the week: will Sergio Conceiçao take over from Jean-Louis Gasset on the bench of the Marseille club? While the name of Paulo Fonseca had been made a priority, Pablo Longoria should finally opt for another Portuguese technician in the person of Conceiçao.
The latter is well known in France since he had a very notable stint at FC Nantes 7 years ago. For Christophe Dugarry, OM would achieve a very nice coup by attracting a coach of this caliber. “I love the coach. He has an incredible personality, the 1998 world champion enthused on RMC.
Conceiçao at OM, Dugarry is seduced: “He has proven himself”
“He is endearing, he makes his teams win, Dugarry continued.. It gives a game identity, a grinta, a team spirit. I’m surprised there aren’t other more posh teams on him. He has proven himself, notably in Porto. If Marseille manages to attract this coach, I say hats off to the leaders. I attacked him when he left Nantes like a thief to go to Porto. I found it inappropriate. But he had put the local fiber forward, it was something he could not refuse”.
