Targeted by numerous criticisms, the president of Olympique de Marseille, Pablo Longoria, did not escape those of Bertrand Latour.
Since last summer, the atmosphere has no longer been the same in the corridors of Olympique de Marseille. Until then praised for his trading policy, Pablo Longoria was unsuccessful in his last summer campaign and chaos even arose at the start of the season, leading to the hasty departure of coach Marcelino who had arrived a few weeks earlier. Hesitant to leave himself, the Marseille president ultimately remained in office, but the clouds continue to gather above him, and criticism flourishes.
The day after the heavy charge from Christophe Dugarry who simply asked him to “get out”, Pablo Longoria was targeted on Tuesday by Bertrand Latour. The channel journalist The Team, often quick to use acidity in his remarks, was therefore not gentle. “ If there has to be a culprit, Pablo Longoria is obviously first among them. The fish rots from the head, it’s the same at the Olympique de Marseille. »
“Responsible for many things”
A first banderilla, followed by a scathing diatribe “ He is responsible for many things. He has total control over the club from a structural point of view, meaning that he placed almost all of his Spanish friends at one point, who then left. It weakened the club, the training center in particular. From a sporting point of view, he has been responsible for recruitment since he was at the head of this club and even before since he was sports director. »
Considering, however, that the arrival of Mehdi Benatia to this famous position of sports director was still too recent to judge, the journalist continued. “ There is an instability problem. That is to say that he has fifty-two movements per transfer window, he is incapable of extending or staying his coaches. I’ll stop there for my shopping list, but I have other arguments. » Will Pablo Longoria stay at OM for much longer? The latest indiscretions revealed Tuesday by The Team tended more towards a near departure. Maybe at the end of the season?
