After a disappointing campaign concluded with a place in the soft underbelly of the ranking, theOlympic Marseille approaches the next exercise as a turning point in the McCourt era. The American businessman recalled that the club was not for sale and that he was counting on Pablo Longoria to remain in charge in the long term.
The OM president has a lot at stake in this context. After two recent transfer periods that ended in failure, the Spaniard knows that he is expected to make a difference. And if the squad should be reworked in all areas, the priority issue was obviously that of the coach.
De Zerbi, the first stone of an attractive transfer window for OM
While Sergio Conceiçao was announced, it was finally Roberto De Zerbi who took his place on the bench of Olympique de Marseille. Renowned for his temperament, his method, his convincing results and his tactical precepts, the Italian technician ticks a lot of boxes. For Daniel Riolo, it is an unexpected blow for OM.
“ He can lose it, be careful, it can get people excited, there can be some low points, but in any case, lots of things are going to happen, enthused the journalist. It’s super exciting for OM. When you know what situation Ligue 1 is in today: there’s no broadcaster, there’s no more money, people are wondering how they’re going to watch the matches… Can you imagine? It’s great for OM and Ligue 1!”Riolo concluded.
