After having had to give up on Paulo Fonseca, Olympique de Marseille is determined to attract Sergio Conceiçao, currently stationed at FC Porto.
The days pass and the coach’s file hardly seems to have advanced for the leaders of Olympique de Marseille. If the departure of Jean-Louis Gasset, who arrived last winter to play the duty firefighters after the hasty departure of Gennaro Gattuso, has been noted for several weeks, the Ciel et Blanc are still looking for his successor.
Many names have been mentioned in recent weeks, including those of Paulo Fonseca, Franck Haise and Habib Beye. The first named, in the process of leaving Losc, has long even been presented as the priority of the Olympian club. But the Portuguese technician has other plans in mind and is reportedly on the verge of signing up with AC Milan. Enough to force OM to change their tune.
Sergio Conceiçao assures that he has already decided
And according to the Portuguese press, the new priority of Olympique de Marseille now has the name Sergio Conceiçao. The former Nantes coach may be under contract with FC Porto until 2026, but his departure from the Dragons seems to have been confirmed since the election of André Villas-Boas as president. A situation that the Olympian club would therefore like to take advantage of. Questioned after the coronation of FC Porto in the Portuguese Cup, the Portuguese technician maintained the vagueness.
“In my head, my future is already decided. I will communicate it in the coming days. During the press conference, I wanted to make it clear that the situation was well defined and that I had already made my decision”he whispered as discussions intensified between the two parties, giving hope for an agreement in the coming days.
