OM bounced back quickly. On Saturday, the Marseille leaders recorded the refusal of Marcelo Gallardo to join the club to succeed Igor Tudor. This Sunday, they made Paulo Fonseca their priority track, as confirmed by RMC Sports And Report. The Marseille leaders, aware that the Gallardo track was getting colder, contacted the Portuguese coach a few days ago. This one is open to challenge. To the point that an agreement is about to be found between the two parties.
Remains a downside, size. Arrived last summer in Lille, Fonseca is under contract in the North until 2024. Lille’s very good season, rewarded with a fifth place, encourages its current leaders to plan with him next year. President Olivier Létang also confirmed it in the evening at The Team : he will not let go of his trainer.
“Paulo Fonseca will be the coach of LOSC next yearhe explained. He had the honesty to quickly inform me of the interests of certain clubs for him. I would have liked these clubs to do the same but the priority of the day is to reassure our supporters on the stability of our project and our staff”. End of the track for OM?
