The commander is dead! Long live the commander!
According to the newspaper Provenceafter weeks of procrastination at the Commanderie, endless meetings and dead-end negotiations, the ax has fallen: Marco Otero, technical director in charge of training, was laid off on Monday. The 50-year-old Hispano-Swiss, who arrived in June 2022 after leading the Valencia training center from 2019, is leaving his post.
Boy, add a touch of Marseille to this Marseille!
Otero, despite his solid references and his impressive CV, has never managed to get used to Marseille. Dissensions with management were no longer a secret, and after considering – then abandoning – a possible internal reclassification, the leaders made a radical decision. Exit Otero, place at the local.
In this context, OM was quick to find his replacement: Lassad “Titou” Hasni, a 53-year-old trainer from Marseilletakes the reins of the training center. Hasni, free since his departure from OGC Nice a week ago, is a familiar face in Marseille football circles. Trained at Burel (in the 13e Marseille district), having passed through several regional amateur clubs, he has built a solid reputation, notably in Gémenos (a few kilometers from Aubagne), where his working methods were unanimously appreciated. This choice is a real declaration of intent: putting “Minot” back into the engine, restoring the training center to its former glory, and perhaps, one day, seeing a golden generation blossom under the Olympian jersey.
Because when there is a problem in Marseille, there is a solution: even more Marseille.
