OM Mercato: Since the departure of Nasser Larguet, a strong man from Valencia acts as the big favorite to replace him. His room in Marseille is becoming clearer.
OM Mercato: Advanced negotiations for Marco Otero
The transfer market in France is now open, and Olympique de Marseille is already working to bring in new reinforcements this summer. If the management of OM is looking into several issues internally, it is clear that the atmosphere is gloomy within the club’s training center. And for good reason, the Marseille reserve, relegated to National 3, has experienced several defections in recent months. Former interim coach of Olympique de Marseille, Nasser Larguet decided to leave the position of director of the Marseille training center for ” personal reasons “before moving to Saudi Arabia. Jean-Claude Giuntiniwho headed the Elite group of OM, has also resigned.
These cascading departures therefore force the Marseille management to find replacements with a view to reviving their reserve. And to occupy the position of director of the OM training center, a name comes up regularly, that of Marco Otero, current director of the academy of Valencia. The Spanish technician had held this position since June 2019 and was appointed at the time by a certain Pablo Longoria. The two men have a good relationship. The Spanish media sports basis thus explains that the president of Olympique de Marseille is working to poach Marco Otero of Valencia. Negotiations have already started between the different parties and are moving in the right direction.
