While Olympique de Marseille plays the Ligue 1 “Classic” this Sunday evening in Paris, the climate remains very agitated behind the scenes. Since the stormy meeting of Marseille leaders with representatives of supporters last Monday, the club has entered into crisis. If coach Marcelino left almost as quickly as he arrived, Pablo Longoria finally hung on, with the support of OM owner Frank McCourt.
According to the “Téléfoot” program, this Sunday on TF1, the Marseille president received the support of Emmanuel Macron, a self-confessed OM fan, before consulting the Marseille prosecutor and the prefect of Bouches-du-Rhône. Longoria, whose resignation was initially announced, announced Friday evening at a press conference that he would remain on the job.
“Change things together”
He also announced that he had filed a complaint “in relation to what happened”, and wanted to combat the problems he felt he was facing. “We must change things together so that what happened on Monday in Marseille is no longer accepted, neither here nor elsewhere in the world of sport. »
A priori, Emmanuel Macron agrees with him.
