Carine Galli only had 45 seconds. The time he had, Saturday evening, at the microphone of RTL to say if Pablo Longoria was the best possible president for Olympique de Marseille. ” No way “, she said straight away, adding: “Longoria did some good things but I’m going to highlight all the bad things he did. Longoria arrived in 2020 and he was named president in 2021. Did he help OM win titles? No, and that’s what we ask of a president. »
“Does it allow OM to succeed all its seasons and gain agents? Absolutely not. I want to say thank you McCourt and not necessarily thank you Longoria, she continued. It’s a club that is an airport terminal and that’s not how I identify Marseille. This is a team that is constantly being remodeled. These are coaches who never stick to the long term. This is a man who chose someone sulphurous as his football director. This is a man who is president of OM and a club legend explains that he is threatened as part of his work. He is not the best president of OM, far from it. »

“The terms “sulphurous”, “threats” and “detestable practices” intended to describe the alleged functioning of OM are particularly unacceptable”he continued, adding: “Regretting that Marseille is still associated with nauseating and false prejudices, Olympique de Marseille condemns these slanderous accusations and announces that a defamation complaint has been filed. »
