Under the supervision of Frank McCourt, Olympique de Marseille operates with a supervisory board to oversee the operational side led by Pablo Longoria. There will be changes in this supervisory board…
Indeed, La Provence tells us that Barry Cohen, chairman of the supervisory board, has decided to retire on the occasion of his 80th birthday. He will be replaced at the head of the body by another close friend of McCourt, Jeff Ingram, who was until now vice-president.
« Frank McCourt and McCourt Global express their deep gratitude for his years of dedicated service and leadership“, wrote the group in a message sent to La Provence.
In short, a change in continuity.
“Zero titles are not a real success”
In the RMC program Rothen s'igname on October 18, 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.
