If Andoni Zubizarreta has left his post as sports director, OM is still waiting for his famous general manager of football. On May 15, in the Rothen Régale program on RMC, Jacques-Henri Eyraud explained that Zubizarreta was aware of the upcoming arrival of this managing director and that he could remain in the organization chart.
“I wanted to strengthen the organization and I will continue to do so. As early as last fall, I had warned him that I would be recruiting a general manager in charge of football at the end of the season. “other moments in the season. This season ends, so this person will arrive before the news and we decided by mutual agreement that our paths would go away”, had justified the president of OM.
Eyraud assures that “ambition is intact”
If this new position of general manager of football raises many questions, the second in Ligue 1 says to move forward on this issue. “Obviously, he will be a football expert, those who have been able to say or write the reverse are totally missing the plate,” said Eyraud to AFP on Saturday, ensuring that a “short-list” exists. A Marseille leader also assures the agency that the “attractiveness” of the club is intact. “We have received many calls,” added this source.
Despite the uncertainty around the future of André Villas-Boas and the fear of a sanction of financial fair play, Jacques-Henri Eyraud believes that “ambition is intact” at OM, taking as an example the Alvaro Gonzalez case. The Marseille president has announced to AFP that the Spanish central defender, loaned with option to buy by Villarreal, will stay at OM next season.
