Olympique de Marseille is currently having one of the best seasons in recent years. Even if everything is obviously not perfect yet, the arrivals of Pablo Longoria and Jorge Sampaoli seem to have breathed new life into the team by building a project around the Argentinian coach’s game ideas. In an interview given to FigaroPablo Longoria, the president of OM, who returned to the news of the Marseille club, was asked about the dream of one day seeing Zidane on the OM bench.
Not wishing to disavow his coach, the president of the Marseille club preferred to kick into touch by praising the greatest French footballer in history. “Zinedine Zidane is a very important person in the history of Marseille, there is always a link with the city, he is one of the very important social actors here. Dream of him? It’s a Homeric question, in today’s world of football, isn’t it? He has a very respectable track record and whether as a player or a coach, we must be in awe that a Marseillais manages to do that. All of Marseille should be proud of it. Now, we have to be realistic and what I imagine in the immediate future is to give continuity to our project with Jorge Sampaoli.
