After a very long wait, OM should soon switch to the Saudi flag.
Frank McCourt’s days as OM boss would be numbered. After refusing to give up his property for a long time, the American businessman is now willing to do business with the Saudis. And the transfer of power would be imminent.
The Saudis prepare their arrival
According to what the monthly “Le Foot” reports, the sale of the club, which has the club’s supporters in suspense, is likely to take place before the end of January. The final details in this regard are being resolved according to what American sources report to the media in question.
If it does not materialize in January, then the formalization could fall during the spring. In any case, the machine is set in motion and it is difficult to see the current hierarchy remaining in the south of France beyond the current season.
Zidane would be ready to say yes to OM.

Obviously, a takeover of the club should be accompanied by profound changes. The main revolution should concern the technical bar. Gennaro Gattuso is now well established as coach. However, if the PIF (the Saudi investment fund), the Italian will know immediately. The possibility of seeing Zinédine Zidane succeed him does exist.
The French legend can’t wait to get back into action. She was unable to do so as coach of the Blues, because Didier Deschamps was confirmed in his functions, nor as coach of Real, given that Ancelotti has just extended his contract. So, a return to his hometown emerges as a real option. A fortiori if ZZ obtains carte blanche and substantial resources to recruit.
