Pablo Longoria, the president of OM, probably regretted that Jorge Sampaoli let him go. He may have had it across his throat. We can see it like this. In the summer of 2022, the Argentine coach left the Marseille ship, after a little over a year, considering a lack of ambition among his leaders at the time.
“ In March 2021, I arrived at the club in a climate of crisis, with La Commanderie on fire (in January), a coach left (André Villas-Boas)an eleventh place in the Championship,” explained Sampaoli in an interview with The Team in January 2024.
He wants to sting Rongier
“ We took the first step, we qualified OM in the Europa League, then we finished vice-champions behind Paris. For me, the next project had to be much more ambitious. I wanted Marseille to win the Championship”continues the current Stade Rennais coach.
On the bench of the Breton club since November 2024, after 19 months of inactivity, Jorge Sampaoli is once again interested in OM. To try to steal a player from Roberto de Zerbi’s squad. Not very fair play… Especially if his counterpart declared Valentin Rongier “ non-transferable »Friday at a press conference, the Argentinian is hanging on.
Stubborn Argentinian?
According to RMC Sportthe words of De Zerbi, who made Rongier once again an indisputable holder for several weeks, did not cool Sampaoli. The 64-year-old coach intends to return to the charge to try to recruit the French midfielder during the winter transfer window. A call from Pablo Longoria could dissuade him.
