Visiting a press conference this Tuesday to present his new coach Jean-Louis Gasset, Pablo Longoria took the opportunity to clarify things regarding his future.
Just a few moments after formalizing the departure of Gennaro Gattuso, this Tuesday morning, Olympique de Marseille announced the name of his replacement. This is the experienced French coach Jean-Louis Gasset, who was presented to the press in the afternoon, in the presence of his president Pablo Longoria.
Target of criticism from OM supporters, Pablo Longoria is the subject of numerous rumors about his future. In front of the media, the Spanish leader wanted to send a strong message about his involvement within the Marseille club.
“I would like to continue”
“I said it in positive times and I say it again now that the situation is not what we want. Credibility comes with sporting results, it’s normal to be questioned. And I am the first to question myself every day”assured Longoria, and added: “Will I be here in the future?” Yes, I like being here. I would like to continue. That’s what I want. A lot of people talk about me. But I realize that many people speak on my behalf and don’t know me. »
The boss of Ciel et Blanc was then questioned about supposed tensions between him and Stéphane Tessier, current general director of the club and who is announced as the possible successor to Longoria for next season. “I try to be transparent and that’s why I wanted to speak. Sometimes those around you modify the truth because they seek to divide. Stéphane Tessier, it was I who chose him and I have confidence in him, he assured. We went on vacation together. So why try to divide, it’s not fair. Stéphane Tessier manages people very well on a daily basis, he is very strong in his field and we work at different levels. I am president and I made the decision to bring in Jean-Louis Gasset. There is no point in trying to divide Stéphane Tessier and me. »
