The revolution is underway at Olympique de Marseille and the arrival of Roberto de Zerbi has initiated a huge upheaval within the Marseille club. Pablo Longoria is not joking.
Frank McCourt only spent a few hours in Marseille during his visit at the beginning of June, but the owner clearly left the keys to the club to Pablo Longoria. While the latter had been announced as depressed and close to leaving at the beginning of 2024, the president of OM was boosted by the agreement reached with Roberto de Zerbi, which no one believed in. And in the wake of the arrival in Marseille of the former Brighton coach, the president of Olympique de Marseille decided to put the house in order, even if it meant making some people unhappy. If the departure of Stéphane Tessier, who became his intimate enemy in a few months, will be compensated by the arrival of Aziz Mady Mogne, formerly of FC Lorient, as sports coordinator, the medical staff will pay dearly for the entry into a new era for OM.
Longoria cleans house at OM
It is not known whether this was requested by Roberto de Zerbi or not, but RMC reveals that Pablo Longoria decided to attack the medical team of Olympique de Marseille. Four physiotherapists and a doctor have been dismissed by OM, which will set up a performance unit at the medical level “, specifies Florent Germain. However, the president of Marseille had trusted this team for a long time, but visibly the summer of 2024 will be that of the revolution on the side of the Commanderie and the four members of the staff will therefore make way for a new team. Pablo Longoria is taking advantage of the enthusiasm generated among Olympique de Marseille supporters by the signing of De Zerbi to take rather violent measures. But for the boss of OM, it is probably now or never, we know that on the side of the Vélodrome, the state of grace is only linked to sporting results. The crisis of September 2023 had shown it.
