The new OM does not please everyone. In his management of players with a little seniority in any case.
The summer was full of promise for Marseille. With the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi, OM took on an unexpected dimension, including in its recruitment with the reinforcement of headliners such as Mason Greenwood, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and very recently Adrien Rabiot. Yes, but this profound overhaul of the workforce did not happen without problems.
Many of yesterday’s executives have indeed been pushed towards the exit. From Pau Lopez to Jordan Veretout via Jonathan Clauss and Samuel Gigot, without forgetting Ismaïla Sarr, Azzedine Ounahi and Iliman Ndiaye. This according to the will of the new coach: “ For the departures, I considered that a lot of players had to leave, whether Veretout, Clauss, Lopez or Mbemba, who are all very good players, but OM needed a radical change », says Roberto De Zerbi.
“Someone extremely easy to manage”
However, he is a die-hard who, despite several proposals, has not satisfied the wishes of his club. Chancel Mbemba insisted on staying in Marseille at all costs. Obviously a question of principles. “ It’s incredible to come to such a situation.judges his former coach in Congo Claude Le Roy, requested by Canal+. Chancel is someone extremely easy to manage, who is always ready to give everything. This behavior of OM towards him is unworthy. It even surprises me from someone like Pablo Longoria, such an attitude. Or, it means that only money matters and that people are completely forgotten. »
In the past, OM may have lacked class with players who have become unwanted. This was the case with Rod Fanni and Henri Bedimo in particular. Under LFP regulations, the Marseille club had to reinstate its defender to the professional squad on 1er last September. He was able to train with a group called “Pro 2”, the reserve led by Jean-Pierre Papin. However, he has been laid off since September 14 for repeated failures to undergo medical examinations necessary according to Olympian management.
