Olympique de Marseille is looking for a coach for next season. And if some want to believe in Santa Claus with the sale of the club to Saudi Arabia, the reality is totally different.
Pablo Longoria is looking for a coach to replace Jean-Louis Gasset, and if several names are circulating around the Commanderie, nothing has yet been finalized even though it was a priority for the president of OM. Obviously, nature abhors a vacuum, and Marseille supporters even more so. This situation allows those who think that the Marseille club is being sold to develop their theory, namely that the coach will only be appointed when the sale of OM is made official in the coming weeks. . But, guest of Football Club de Marseille, Mathieu Grégoire, journalist from The team in the Marseille city which was the first to announce the takeover by Frank McCourt, affirms that the sale of Olympique de Marseille by the American billionaire was not at all on the agenda.

Responding to a question about the possible arrival of Zinedine Zidane at OM, which is the fantasy of those who see OM being sold to Saudi Arabia, our colleague did not hesitate for a single second. “ If there is a chance that Zidane will be the new strong man of the project? No ! Frank McCourt does not want to sell OM as we speak. I ask the question regularly anyway and it is not at all from a sales perspective…here it is (…) Why does McCourt keep the club? I don’t have the answer, because he remains very mysterious about it and we don’t see him anymore. All our requests for interviews have been declined, so it’s difficult to know what’s on his mind. He never prepares too much for what comes next, he wears his leaders down. It would take a catastrophe for him to be interested in the club from a sporting point of view. But in terms of finances and the sustainability of OM, it does the job and it is very stable. On management, he is absent, but when it is necessary to pay, he is there », points out Mathieu Grégoire, not really on the same wavelength as those who announce fireworks before the end of June.
