Very critical of Pablo Longoria in recent months, Christophe Dugarry expressed his mea-culpa and praised the work carried out by the president of OM, believing that it was normal to make mistakes in football.
Olympique de Marseille was one of the most active clubs in the 2024 summer transfer window. After a disappointing season last year, the president of OM, Pablo Longoria, decided to bang his fist on the table and achieved an XXL transfer window with the arrivals of Roberto De Zerbi as new coach, Adrien Rabiot, Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg and even the more controversial one of Mason Greenwood. The results did not take long to be felt and OM are third in Ligue 1 during this October international break.

Dugarry praises Longoria’s work at OM
In the show Rothen s’ignée on RMC, the 1998 world champion did not hesitate to say all the good things he thought of Pablo Longoria: “I was very hard on him. What is good about this gentleman since he has been at OM is that he is a man of conviction. He’s not afraid to do things. This is not a president who arrived just to sit in his presidential chair, and wait for things to happen. The guy is hyperactive, sometimes too much. It sometimes went in all directions and was sometimes incomprehensible. But he came up with ideas, it’s already huge. He took responsibility, even if he was wrong. I like people who admit their mistakes, because no one has the truth in football. I find that there are things that are strong, that he did something strong. Also convince its president to put money in, despite TV rights which have fallen, OM has invested a lot. This proves that his relationship with his president is of quality. Sometimes you have to make hard choices. We can’t satisfy everyone, so yes, I want to say well done”he analyzed. It is now up to the players to validate Longoria’s work on the pitch in the coming weeks and show that ultimately, the Spanish leader knew how to make the right choices.
