Who will Pablo Longoria find to replace Marcelino on the OM bench? A name already targeted two years ago has resurfaced.

In the middle of the storm which has largely rocked his club in recent days, Pablo Longoria is still looking for a replacement for Marcelino who left after only three months at OM. Without a coach, and while Jacques Abardonado takes over as interim manager, Marseille has been offered a coach who is not unknown to him.

The information was disclosed on Sunday by Foot Mercato who confirmed that Roberto Donadoni had been offered Pablo Longoria and Javier Ribalta to take charge of the first team. And if the technician would like to come, it would be to engage “ over time“, specified the specialized media which added that its profile “ of great interest to managers » from OM.

No in 2021, yes in 2023?

Having notably spent time on the bench of Napoli, Parma and Bologna, Roberto Donadoni remains on a stint with the Chinese club Shenzhen FC. This is not the first time that the name of the former AC Milan player has been linked to Olympique de Marseille since in 2021, when André Villas-Boas left, he had already been proposed to Pablo Longoria who did not follow up, believing that his profile did not match. More than two years later, the situation may have changed.
