Marseille president Frank McCourt has commented on rumors that he is preparing to sell the club.
Is OM for sale? This question has been tormenting the minds of all Marseille supporters for a long time now. And the echoes suggesting that a Saudi consortium could land at the head of their club only fuel this hypothesis. But, according to the latest news, nothing has changed in the mind of Frank McCourt, the owner of the club.
“The question of selling OM is becoming absurd. I’ve been answering this for 8 years. The club is not for sale. I like OM. Total commitment », thundered McCourt in an interview with JDD. Those who hoped to see him hand over will therefore be disappointed.
McCourt confirms Longoria in his functions.
McCourt still has confidence in Longoria
The American businessman also confirmed that a new cycle will open this summer. And he is still counting on Pablo Longoria to carry out this project, thus sweeping aside rumors of a transfer of power at management level. “We are starting a new long-term project this summer with Pablo Longoria at the helm,” he confided.
McCourt did not comment on the big shortfall recorded by his club in the season which has just ended, and which arises in particular from the non-participation in the next Champions League. A situation which will lead Marseille to part ways once again with its new elements, given that the Bostonian no longer plans to put his hand in his pocket. The first candidate to leave would be the team’s top scorer, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Currently, the priority file for the Olympian management is the appointment of a new coach. The Portuguese Sergio Conceiçao would be in pole position to land at the technical helm, even if nothing has yet been concluded.
