OM: Change of boss, McCourt returns to Marseille

Frank McCourt has formalized an important decision concerning the management of Olympique de and the American billionaire returns to Marseille for this.

This is news that is bound to fuel theories about Frank McCourt's future at OM, even if it ultimately doesn't change much. But this Saturday, in a press release sent to several media, the American owner announced the immediate departure of Barry Cohen from his position as chairman of the supervisory board and his replacement by Jeff Ingram, who has worked with Frank McCourt for 25 years. “Ieff Ingram joined the McCourt Company in 1999 as vice president of capital markets. In this role, he managed the company's diversification into professional sports.

McCourt returns to Marseille this week

The departure of Barry Cohen after two years at the head of the supervisory board is justified by the latter's age, this very close friend of Frank McCourt having decided that at 80, it was time to move on to something else. This decision is anything but anecdotal, since Pablo Longoria is obviously required to report to the boss of the supervisory board of Olympique de Marseille. And besides, McCourt is not mistaken since he will be back this week in the Marseille city in order to combine business with pleasure as specified in the Marseille regional daily.

While he missed last Sunday's OM-PSG, fortunately for him, the Bostonian will be in the presidential box at the Vélodrome for the match between Roberto De Zerbi's team and AJ next Friday. Frank McCourt wishes to be present for the installation of Jeff Ingram, in order to show that the departure of Barry Cohen was not at all a sign of an imminent withdrawal and a sale of Olympique de Marseille. However, it is clear that sales theorists will still want to see this as a sign.
