It’s time for renewal in Marseille. After the departure of Roberto De Zerbi at the beginning of February, Olympique de Marseille entrusted its bench to Habib Beye, but is still looking for its future president.
The departure of Pablo Longoria gave way to Alban Juster, whose interim role should not extend beyond the season. Club owner, Frank McCourt confirmed last weekend in the JDD having launched the search to find a new leader.
The profile sought is clear: an experienced personality, capable of embodying the club and above all of understanding the Marseille environment. “My preference is for someone who knows France and Marseille well, because I think it is crucial to understand the culture of the club. The person must also be a strong, experienced manager. With the years that pass, we have a finer and finer understanding of how a club like Marseille should be run, with a strong president representing the owner.he explained.
