OM has a clear idea of the ideal profile called to succeed Jean-Louis Gasset on the bench.
It is certain that Jean-Louis Gasset will not remain on the OM bench beyond this 2023-2024 financial year. Already in a state of grace, with the start of his mandate marked by five victories in a row, the person concerned recalled that his contract ran for 100 days, and not one more. A temporary role assumed to save the furniture in a very compromised season, before reshuffling the cards this summer.
Since the last offseason, two names have been regularly mentioned behind the scenes of the Marseille club: those of Christophe Galtier and Paulo Fonseca. Pablo Longoria greatly appreciates the first named, who nevertheless has the disadvantage of being under contract until 2025 with the Qataris of Al-Duhail – not to mention his Parisian past which is prohibitive for many in Marseille.
A mutual temptation
The second has no such liability, and will be free of any commitment on the 1ster July if he does not extend his Lille lease by then. According to La Provence, OM's interest in Paulo Fonseca is reciprocal; the temptation was great last summer when the Olympian management came for information. Convincing in Lille for two years, the former coach of AS Roma and Shakhtar Donetsk could nevertheless turn to England if the opportunity arises.
This Thursday at a press conference, on the eve of OM being hosted by Losc, the Portuguese technician spoke about his future: “ I am totally focused on the last matches of the season and on what we can do to finish it as best as possible. My future doesn't concern me and I think that right now it's not important. (…) We'll see but I think the end of the season will be important for my future. »
