While Olympique de Marseille have decided to part ways with Gennaro Gattuso and replace him with Jean-Louis Gasset, it is now Pablo Longoria himself who would be in great danger.
What if, following in the footsteps of the Italian coach he hired last fall to replace Marcelino, the current president of OM also fell by the wayside? If some people dreamed of it, Frank McCourt could prove them right. While with Mehdi Benatia, Pablo Longoria finalizes the arrival of the former Ivory Coast coach on the Marseille bench, Provence reveals that this time it is the Spaniard who would be in the hot seat. A few hours after the premonitory remarks of Daniel Riolo, who affirms that Stéphane Tessier should succeed Pablo Longoria at the end of the season, the regional daily explains that internally things are very complicated for the 37-year-old Marseille leader. “ Some sources indicate that the next few hours could also be decisive for the future of Longoria at OM, who will inevitably have to answer for these new turmoil before the McCourt clan, not really a fan of periods of instability. And this, especially since its internal position has been largely weakened since the September crisis », writes Alexandre Jacquin, who obviously does not have absolute confidence in the future of Pablo Longoria in Marseille.

Arriving at OM in July 2020, first as general director in charge of football to replace Andoni Zubizarreta, the native of Oviedo became president of the board of directors of Olympique de Marseille in February 2021. A decision taken by Frank McCourt , following serious incidents caused by supporters at the Commanderie. The latter wanted the head of Jacques-Henri Eyraud and they got it. Following a series of good transfer windows, Pablo Longoria quickly got the Vélodrome public and social networks in his pocket. But since the departure of Igor Tudor at the end of the 2023 season, things have become tense for Longoria, the summer transfer window being missed, and the emergency departure of Marcelino after a stormy meeting with the Ultras already causing torment around him . The departure of Gennaro Gattuso, and the growing discontent, this time places the president of OM on the front line.
