The Croatian technician, who has just left the bench of Hellas Verona, could join Marseille quickly.
Pablo Longoria revealed it on Friday, Olympique de Marseille has started discussions with several coaches to replace Jorge Sampaoli, who left on Friday. The Marseille president even underlined having “a privileged track” to take over from the Argentinian who arrived at La Canebière in March 2021 and which allowed the Olympians to find the Champions League through a second place in Ligue 1 snatched in extremis . And according to the indiscretions published by L’Équipe, the Spaniard’s priority target would be Igor Tudor. Unknown to the general public, the ex-Croatian international – passed by Juventus Turin among others during his career as a player but also as an assistant – has just left the bench of Hellas Verona, after a good season marked both by beautiful game only by honorable results (9th in Serie A). The sports daily affirms that the file could “finish quickly”. Exactly as Pablo Longoria hopes. If negotiations with the 44-year-old technician fail, OM could fall back on two other coaches: Roberto De Zerbi (Shakhtar Donetsk) and Julien Stéphan (RC Strasbourg Alsace).
