While Olympique de Marseille is experiencing turbulent times at the start of the year, the worst is still to be feared, according to Eric di Meco.
Olympique de Marseille is having a complicated start to the year. Firstly, on the ground. After having had to settle for a draw (1-1) against Strasbourg on the occasion of the resumption of Ligue 1, Gennaro Gattuso’s men were in fact eliminated by Stade Rennais in the round of 16 of the French Cup.
But OM is also struggling behind the scenes. The start of the year was marked by the departure of Pedro Iriondo, loyal to Pablo Longoria, and a disappointing winter transfer window for supporters. Three players have certainly already arrived in the Marseille city, but the profile of the three recruits – Jean Onana, Ulisses Garcia and Faris Moumbagna – is not likely to delight the crowds.

Consequence of the expected departure of Pablo Longoria at the end of the season. “ I think Longoria won’t be here at the end of the year. I ask myself questions and I think that the page will turn itself. But if he leaves, tell me who you’re bringing. We realize that there is a limit to Longoria’s policy. When you make bets, you win one or two and you impress everyone, but you lose 10 in the same time. I’m afraid he won’t be there at the end of the year, and I’m afraid to see who will come behind.” he said at the RMC microphone, fearing economic management in the future.
