From the end of the season press conference and only a few days after the announcement of the departure of Igor Tudor, Pablo Longoria had already explained that Olympique de Marseille were in contact with several technicians. The president of OM had also taken the opportunity to discuss the profile sought: “We want to maintain the work culture, rigour, high standards and discipline. It’s not negotiable. There is also the style of play, which must correspond to what the club expects. The style must stick with Marseille. Here, we must make the Vélodrome a strength and not a weakness. We also have to play to please our passionate public. You need attacking play, speed“, he explained.

And if we are to believe the Iberian media, and more precisely AS, the Marseille staff would have decided and it is Marcelo Gallardo who should land in the Marseille city. The former River Plate coach, known for his attacking game, has won everything on the South American continent, including two Copa Libertadores to his name.
As indicated by several sources this weekend, the Argentinian spoke with Pablo Longoria in Istanbul and the discussions were very positive, suggesting that an agreement could be reached fairly quickly for the arrival of the former player. AS Monaco, even if the latter is quite greedy as to the composition of its staff (Gallardo would like to land with 8 or 9 people).
