Many observers agree to predict the departure of Pablo Longoria from the presidency of Olympique de Marseille, perhaps as early as this winter…
These next few weeks should be eventful at Olympique de Marseille. Obviously a consequence of the winter transfer window. As Renan Lodi prepares to leave the Marseille club just six months after his arrival at OM, Marseille leaders are looking for his replacement in the left lane as well as a versatile defender.
But things are also happening behind the scenes at OM. Arriving in the summer of 2021 in the wake of Pablo Longoria, Pedro Irondio, member of the management board and director of strategy and development, in turn left the Olympian club, thus imitating Javier Ribalta, the former director of football or even David Friio, former sports director now in Lyon, who left this fall after the events with the Olympian supporters.
And for some, this departure of the faithful of Pablo Longoria undoubtedly announces that of the president of Ciel et Blanc. “ The Spaniard’s entourage is unanimous: Longoria will no longer be the president of OM at the end of the season, or even at the end of this transfer window. Stéphane Tessier, General Director of the Olympian club which has gained enormous importance in recent times, could be his successor as President. It will certainly be denied. But it has undeniably been the trend for several weeks. And the unanimity around the subject indicates that it is not just a passing mood. announced the MassiliaZone account on X, formerly Twitter.
Same story with Vincenzo Tommasi. “After the departure of Pedro Iriondo, member of the board in charge of strategy and development, we imagine that Stéphane Tessier should become the new president of OM and succeed Pablo Longoria,” he wrote. In charge of the economic aspect, Stéphane Tessier could rely on Mehdi Benatia for the sporting part, the Moroccan having recently been inducted as sporting director of the Marseille club.
