Christophe Dugarry delivered his clear opinion on the possible arrival of Sergio Conceiçao on the bench of Olympique de Marseille.

After spending a season with three different coaches (Marcelino, Gennaro Gattuso and Jean-Louis Gasset), Olympique de Marseille is looking for a new tactician for the coming year. Several names have been mentioned, such as that of Paulo Fonseca, and the latest is that of another Lusitanian, in this case Sergio Conceiçao. Announced as leaving FC Porto where he has worked for several years, the former coach of FC Nantes really appeals to Christophe Dugarry.

Former OM player, who is now a consultant for RMC raised on Wednesday the possibility of seeing Sergio Conceiçao take control of the Marseille team. An excellent option according to him. “ I adore. I love this coach. He has an incredible personality, I find him endearing, he makes his teams win, he gives an identity to the game, a real grinta, a team spirit. I find it great. »

“I say hats off to the leaders”

Almost a declaration of love from the 1998 world champion with the French team, who then reflected on it. “ I’m even surprised that there aren’t other, more upscale clubs that haven’t asked him to coach. I think he’s proven himself. (…) If Marseille manages to attract this coach, then I will say hats off to the managers because I think it’s a great idea. »

Christophe Dugarry has not forgotten the past and spoke of the somewhat hasty departure of Conceiçao when leaving Nantes in May 2017 to join Porto a few days later. “ I attacked him a bit when he left Nantes, a bit like a thief, to go to Porto. I found it a little inappropriate. He had good results with Nantes and he saved himself a little. “But not enough to change your mind” Duga » who ended his remarks by repeating that if OM managed to convince the Portuguese to come, “ that would be a great move “.
