Pablo Longoria, the president of OM, commented on the option of Massimiliano Allegri for the position of coach of the Phocaeans.

Even if Jean-Louis Gasset has done a good job since he moved to the first team bench, OM should still change coach during the next offseason. A renowned coach should arrive at the Commanderie.

Among the names that have been cited for this great responsibility is that of Massimiliano Allegri. The latter risks being released from Juventus at the end of the current campaign and he has the profile of a high-class technician capable of taking over the reins of this great French club.

Allegri too expensive for OM

However, this scenario has no chance of succeeding. And it was Pablo Longoria himself who made this known in an interview given to La Gazzetta dello Sport. “Juve is in a phase of change and Allegri is doing a great job. I respect Max a lot but for Marseille, it would be too expensive…”, he confided.

As a reminder, Longoria and Allegri have already had the chance to rub shoulders in the past. This was during the period when the Spaniard worked as an emissary for the Old Lady.

OM already had a transalpine coach under contract not so long ago, in this case Gennaro Gattuso. The strong man of the club regrets not having worked longer with “Rino”. “He’s a real man and a hard worker. He took over in a complicated season and was penalized by the African Cup of Nations. I regret not having helped him enough. »
