Olympique de Marseille believed in it, doubted it, and are finally reassured. After a setback of around two weeks, the Marseille club is preparing to announce the official appointment of Grégory Lorenzi to the position of sporting director. Medhi Benatia’s successor at OM should sign his contract in the coming hours, as confirmed this Wednesday by Marseille president Stéphane Richard.
The Marseille leader was at Grand Central for the launch of the “Who’s who” club, headquarters of BFM Marseille Provence. The media reported the comments of Stéphane Richard. “Yes, the name currently circulating in the press is the right one. I can confirm this to you. This will be made official in the coming hours. »
Good news for the Marseille club which is restructuring slowly but surely to start on a healthier basis for next season. After parting ways with its coach Roberto De Zerbi, its president Pablo Longoria and its sports director Medhi Benatia in the space of half a season, OM will therefore try to restart the machine this summer.
Grégory Lorenzi arrives at OM
As for Grégory Lorenzi, who left his position at Stade Brestois, he was initially up for OGC Nice. The two parties had an agreement, but the siren call of Marseille changed the mind of the sports director who will therefore take up his new role shortly in Marseille.
OM will then have to make a decision regarding the future of its current coach. If the rumors sending him towards the exit are persistent, Habib Beye still hopes to be part of the new project and continue to lead the team next season. The verdict should, again, not take too long.
