OM is trying to stabilize itself with a project around its new coach Roberto De Zerbi. But what is McCourt’s record since his arrival? Opinions are divided and Manu Petit is not thrilled…
In the RMC program Rothen s’igname, an in-depth debate took place concerning the draft Frank McCourt at the Olympique de Marseille. Several consultants shared their opinions, notably Jérôme Rothen, who adopted a positive perspective, speaking of “success”.
On the other hand, Emmanuel Petit criticized the management of the Marseille club in a more acerbic manner. “I’m mixed. Already, there is no title in eight years. This is Marseille, a club apart. The whole city lives to the rhythm of the club’s results. Zero titles are not a real success. Besides that, there is instability on the bench, instability in the locker room… Longoria will not always be able to work miracles. OM would need to propose a real project over three to four years. It’s sorely lacking in stability,” declared the 1998 world champion. These comments clearly underline the challenges that OM faces in terms of sporting performance and management.

Zero titles are not a real success
Conversely, the host and former PSG player is more positive, “For me, it’s a success. He has invested more than 550 million euros in total. It’s not the Qataris’ billions, but it’s a lot of money. Then there is everything that OM represents today. There is real progress”decided Jerome Rothen.
To improve the situation, the club will absolutely have to establish a long-term vision and guarantee greater stability, both on the pitch and behind the scenes. Olympique de Marseille, with its rich past, must now focus on a solid project to get back on the path to success and therefore titles.
