It is probably difficult to publicly display a very ambitious character while showing modesty. We will not then want the president of OM, Pablo Longoria when, last September, he spoke of a three -season project and that in April, the vagueness surrounds the commandery.
“” Our goal is to build a three -year project “Said the Spanish leader as part of” Thinking Football Summit “, after an exercise 2023-2024 shabby completed in 8th place. Longoria intended for that to rely on a coach capable in this period to install an identity and a game project in the locker room.
However, the position of Roberto de Zerbi has weakened with the recent results to the point that the latter hesitates by speaking of the future. “” If I had to stay here next year, and if we bring players who adapt to a 4-2-3-1, my favorite system, I would play “Said the Italian on Friday in front of the media, on the eve of OM-Montpellier (30th day of Ligue 1).
Keep the coach even in the event of a disaster
Can Longoria and its staff offer a new change of coach next summer? You don't want it for OM and its supporters, but that would probably mean that Roberto de Zerbi has failed. That is to say that Leonardo Balerdi and others would miss the direct qualification for the Champions League.
