Marcelino the puppet of Longoria, he sees clearly in the game of OM

OM will, barring yet another twist, announce the arrival of Marcelino in the coming hours. The profile of the Spanish coach is not unanimous on the Canebière.

Like PSG, OM are still looking for a new coach. The Marseille club has apparently found happiness with the upcoming arrival of Marcelino. The Spanish coach was not the first choice of the Marseille leaders, who rather hoped to sign Marcelo Gallardo or Paulo Fonseca. For his part, Marcelino had not planned an arrival at OM either, hoping to be able to recover the Spanish selection or a La Liga club. This default marriage between the Marseille club and Marcelino is enough to leave Marseille fans and observers doubtful. This is particularly the case of Romain Canuti, even if the journalist is more reassured than expected…

Marcelino, Longoria was right

On the antennaRMC, the journalist has indeed given his opinion on the upcoming arrival of the former Valencia coach. For him, Pablo Longoria’s strategy stands: “We have a strong man at OM who is Pablo Longoria. There is no point in having a strong president and a strong coach. It often ends in a clash. Longoria had this idea in mind for a while. (…) He had this option in mind even if Gallardo and Fonseca were options above. But they didn’t try everything by giving too much power to the coach. Marseille prefers to leave this season with Marcelino who accepts the functioning of the club and that Pablo Longoria manages the sports policy rather than a big name who will do a big interview after six months and will leave at the end of the season because he has no not choose the players etc…”, said Romain Canuti, impatient to see what Marcelino will give on the Marseille bench. The formalization of the operation is imminent for some media. Then, OM will finally be able to start their transfer window in the direction of arrivals.
