Invited by the influencer Zack, Pablo Longoria, president of Olympique de Marseille, spoke on several hot topics while recounting his journey in football. If his personal story should not excite the crowds, the comments made about the Marseille club and the way in which it operates are worth the detour.
Positive dynamics under Roberto De Zerbi
He analyzed the good current form of his team. After a period of doubt marked by a defeat against AJ Auxerre (1-3), OM raised the bar with significant victories against RC Lens, AS Monaco and ASSE. According to Longoria, it was this last match which was the most revealing of the influence of Roberto De Zerbi. “This is the match where I enjoyed the most under Roberto. The play between the lines, the exploration of the spaces in between… This shows that the players fully embrace his philosophy.”
Mehdi Benatia, a strategic advisor
Longoria also highlighted the key role of Mehdi Benatia, now the club’s sports advisor. “Mehdi is an innovative and high-level person. My goal is for him to install his own processes to better structure our organization.”
This confidence demonstrates the president’s desire to surround himself with solid profiles to build a lasting project. “It’s essential to work with people you trust to make the right decisions.”
Longoria reveals her secrets to Zack.
Longoria has a clear method for the transfer window
Concerning the recruitment policy, Longoria insisted on the importance of a fluid dialogue between the different actors.
“The coach’s opinion is central in building a squad. We always seek consensus between the coach, the sporting director and the recruiting manager.” This collaborative vision illustrates the modernity of the Marseille project, where every voice counts in shaping an ambitious future.
In short, in this interview, Pablo Longoria showed strategic and visionary management. Between De Zerbi’s style, Benatia’s contribution and a thoughtful transfer window, OM seems solidly structured to continue to grow. It remains to be seen whether Marseille supporters share this opinion.
