The president of Olympique de Marseille, Pablo Longoria, underlined it last week: “the analysis of the workforce is a consensus to be made with the coach.” And this point was discussed with Marcelo Gallardo according to L’Équipe, a sign that the Argentinian is getting closer and closer to coaching OM.

Aged 47, the former resident of the River Plate bench (2014-2022) remains in pole position to succeed Igor Tudor. Gallardo knows France well, he is the former midfielder of Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain. Another coach, whose name has not been filtered, would remain in contact with Marseille, 3rd in Ligue 1.
