Contrary to the rumor that has circulated, Pablo Longoria has not abandoned his post as president of OM.
OM supporters will still have to put up with Pablo Longoria. While they had strongly demanded his departure the day before, Marseille fans learned this Tuesday that the Spanish leader had no intention of abandoning ship or fleeing his responsibilities.
Longoria changed his mind, Marcelino announced nothing
According to information from L’Equipe, Longoria has considered resigning. The stormy meeting with the boss of the Dodgers group had a big impact on him and he was ready to pack up. Finally, after the night gave him advice but also and above all after discussing with the owner Frank McCourt this Tuesday afternoon, he resolved to continue his mission.
Marcelino does not intend to abandon his post either. Rumors suggested that he had admitted to his players his desire to leave. It is not so. The Spaniard only made it known that if Longoria left, he did not see himself continuing in his role because it “would not make any sense” in his eyes.
We are therefore heading towards a status quo in Marseille. Nobody should move and it is Marcelino, and not Jean-Pierre Papin, who will be in charge of the Marseille team on Thursday during the clash against Ajax in the Europa League. So everything is back to normal. Until the next misstep from Aubameyang and co?
