The Croatian coach, Igor Tudor, refused to take control of an L1 leader after his break with OM.

Last May, and after just one year at the club, Igor Tudor chose to hand in his OM coaching apron. The Croatian cited the desire to get closer to his family to explain this decision.

Tudor did not want to betray Longoria

We can believe in Tudor’s honesty because he has not coached since. And, above all, he turned his back on a great opportunity to bounce back. AS Monaco wanted him to ensure the succession of Philippe Clément. This was just before turning to Adi Huttler. This is what the daily L’Equipe reveals.

Tudor declined this proposal and informed the OM management. He informed Pablo Longoria that he refused to settle on the Rock out of respect for the Marseille club and the relationship they had during their short collaboration. He didn’t see himself breaking his word and signing for a rival in the French championship.

Author of a rather attractive work in Marseille, Tudor also aroused desire in England. West Ham had sought to hire him before finally confirming David Moyes in his role.
