Journalist Daniel Riolo believes that President Pablo Longoria’s adventure at Olympique de Marseille is coming to an end.
The end of the Pablo Longoria era at Olympique de Marseille is approaching. This is what Daniel Riolo, radio journalist, says RMC. The latter sees the end of the season as a pivotal moment for Frank McCourt, the club’s owner, who will have to make important decisions.
“The end of the season will make Frank McCourt face his responsibilities in terms of decisions. Which will perhaps be facilitated by, quite simply, the desire of Pablo Longoria to do something else and leave since he put himself in a situation of failure this year,” he judged in theAfter Football.
“It often ends badly”
And added: “After a start that I considered with fanfare at the head of OM, I really liked his presidency, I have the impression that the page is turning. And as is often the case at OM, in a somewhat dramatic way. The pages often turn like this in Marseille. It often ends badly. »
The polemicist also returns to the recruitment strategy of the Spanish leader, pointing out his risky choices. “In the short term, he once again went to look for a solution in Italy (for Gattuso, Editor’s note) which is his footballing homeland. He was still in those thoughts. Now… honestly we really have to remember what happened this year,” he further said.
Excessive confidence
“I re-watched a passage from After Foot of me at the start of the season when recruitment was being done. I believe that the confidence we all had in Longoria was enormous,” admitted Riolo.
Tension reigns at OM, with an uncertain future for Longoria at the club. At the same time, the arrival of Jean-Louis Gasset on the Marseille bench to replace Gennaro Gattuso is now imminent.
