Since the announcement of Medhi Benatia’s resignation, no manager of Olympique de Marseille has spoken publicly. It is moreover
what some sports consultants criticize to President Pablo Longoria.
This Tuesday, Frank McCourt will be in the Marseille city according to
Provence. The owner of the club from the south of France could make an important decision concerning the future of OM in the short term.
“He always takes responsibility,” a member of the American businessman’s entourage told the regional daily. After the dismissal of Roberto De Zerbi and the resignation of the director of football, the big question now is whether Pablo Longoria will keep his job.
McCourt at OM, still in the long term?
Since succeeding Margarita Louis-Dreyfus in the summer of 2016, Frank McCourt invested around 650 million euros. A priori, he still intends to be involved in the long term at OM. A trend that still needs to be clarified after recent events.
For the moment, the Marseille leaders have still not formalized the departure of Medhi Benatia. On Sunday, the former defender announced his resignation on his social networks. In recent days, his relations with Pablo Longoria had cooled. The choice of the future coach was one of the reasons for this dissension.
