Olympique de Marseille could change its entire organization chart in the days to come. Will Frank McCourt make a radical decision?
In the current timing, the Olympique de Marseille players would have done without these events. After a very tense meeting between the management of OM and a section of supporters, the Marseille club has suffered a violent and unexpected crisis for a few hours.
It all started with information from L’Equipe announcing the probable departure of Marcelino, the Spaniard having indicated to his players his desire to pack his bags. A version denied by the technician’s entourage for La Provence. Marcelino’s position, however, seems difficult to maintain under these conditions. Pablo Longoria, who maintains a friendly relationship with a coach he brought in this summer, could link his future to that of Marcelino. After receiving death threats, the president of OM would have considered leaving his functions, before changing his mind.
In this explosive context, what about Frank McCourt? According to information from RMC Sport, emergency meetings are currently taking place at the top of the Marseille club. The owner of OM will have to ease tensions and make a clear decision regarding the short-term future of Marcelino, while integrating the hypothesis that the future of Pablo Longoria is conditioned on that of his compatriot. A very delicate posture which could lead to strong decisions. Although the trend is towards a status quo, would Longoria’s departure encourage McCourt to disengage?
