After the dismissal of the Argentine Jorge Sampaoli from the training of Olympique Marseille, the runner-up of the French League “Lige Anne” season 2021-2022, following a dispute between him and the club’s management regarding the new deals needed by the team, Pablo Longoria, the club’s president, immediately began searching for a new coach, before the start of the season. The preparation period for the new season, and hinted that he had a distinguished name in his head, but he refused to reveal it to the French media, which donated to talk about 7 names, one of which could be the next coach of the only French club that won the European Champions League in 1993.
As for the names presented in the French media, they are divided into two types, the first without work at the present time, and the second with great experience in the French league.
The first of these names is Laurent Blanc, who previously trained Paris Saint-Germain, and has been looking for a new challenge since his relationship with Qatari club Al Rayyan ended.
Blanc knows Marseille well, having played for this team at the end of the second millennium, so choosing him might not be a bad idea.
The second is the legendary French star Thierry Henry, despite his unsuccessful experience with Monaco in the French league a few years ago, although some assert that he learned a lot from his experience, and also benefited from his work as an assistant coach with Roberto Martinez, coach of the Belgium national team, and returns with a new mentality that has great motivations for success. .
The third coach is French Claude Puel, who had his last experience in France with Saint Etienne, and had previously won the French League with Monaco, and achieved good results with Lille, and he has a strong personality and “charisma” and suits Marseille perfectly, and on paper he is the best, but It is not possible to be certain of its success.
There is also Remy Gard, who left Lyon training in 2014, and practiced the profession in England and Canada, without being convincing, and what distinguishes him is that his financial demands are limited, but his problem is that he has not trained for 3 years.
And the fifth coach is the Croatian Igortodor, who previously trained in Italy “Verona”, where the atmosphere there is similar to Joe Marseille, a former player in Juventus Turin, and played alongside the star Zinedine Zidane, but his biography is weak and devoid of tournaments, but he has great ambition. .
As for the sixth coach, Sabri Lamouchi, who recently left Al Duhail, and previously trained Rennes, played for Marseille and made a good impression despite the short period of time. He does not mind training this great French club, and he is free at the moment and wants to take on a strong challenge.
And the only Italian among these coaches is Roberto De Zerbe, whose name was mentioned a year ago in Lyon, and he has a good reputation in France and his experience with Sassuolo was successful, and now he is training Shakhtar Donetsk, but he can leave at any time, because the list of the International Federation of Football Associations “FIFA”. give him that right.
