Zapping Onze Mondial EXCLUDED: Randal Kolo Muani’s “Little Brother” interview!
The summer of all upheavals at Olympique de Marseille? After weeks of searching, Pablo Longoria has finally found Jean-Louis Gasset’s replacement on the Phocéens bench. Indeed, following the failure of Paulo Fonseca, the difficulties in completing the Sergio Conceiçao case, the Marseille president jumped on the Roberto de Zerbi opportunity. Pending formalization, we learned today that the Italian technician was not going to arrive alone in the south of France, but that he would be accompanied by Giovanni Rossi, the former sporting director of Sassuolo, as ‘found the Team.
Longoria will have to manage
The latter’s mission will be to act as a bridge between the technical staff and the Marseille management, because he also knows Pablo Longoria very well. He will be present in the daily management of the team as well as the construction of the group. Enough to see Mehdi Benatia take a step back? According to information from RMC Sport, the former Moroccan international appointed sports advisor last season should not lose his “recruitment prerogatives”. However, he will have to live with a new sportsman internally. Pablo Longoria will have to be careful about managing egos.
To sum up
The arrival of Roberto de Zerbi on the bench of Olympique de Marseille and a new sporting director should not change the role of Mehdi Benatia. Indeed, the former defender must keep his prerogatives in the transfer window.
