Seven short matches and it was all over. According to L’Equipe, Marcelino, the Spanish coach, told his players in the Commandery dressing room on Tuesday morning that he was throwing in the towel. Therefore, it is logical that, unless there is a sharp reversal of the trend, he should leave his post in the coming hours.
The Iberian technician, who arrived a few weeks ago to replace Igor Tudor, was already almost unanimously against him, both in results and in the manner of his play. OM were eliminated in the third qualifying round of the Champions League by Panathinaikos and have only two wins in five days of L1. Worse, we are bored in the bays of the Velodrome with a game proposed by the former Valencia coach.
If Marcelino gets his act together quickly, Jean-Pierre Papin should be on the bench for Thursday’s Europa League game against Ajax, according to L’Équipe. The former OM historic goalscorer, who won the Ballon d’Or in 1991, was an adviser to President Longoria for ten months. In particular, he coached Strasbourg, Lens and Chartres. Marseille travel to Paris on Sunday evening to face PSG.
