A few weeks ago, OM formalized the arrival of Jacques Cardoze at the head of the club’s communication.
Unlike his predecessors, recruited at the time by Jacques-Henri Eyraud, the ex-journalist of France 2 is a long-standing and long-standing supporter of Olympique de Marseille. If he will not interfere with the sportsman and the transfer window, which Pablo Longoria manages almost entirely, Jacques Cardoze will of course be attentive to the choices of the Spanish president. In an interview with So Foot, he explained in particular that he was very attached to that players with an irreproachable mentality are recruited in Marseille. The state of mind and the ability to wet the jersey are imperative criteria to sign for OM according to the new head of communication.
“I was a teenager when Bernard Tapie took over OM and I was immediately a supporter of the club. I still have great admiration for what he did with this club. Through OM, I experienced this perfect match between passion and the beautiful game. I like guys who wet the jersey. I think we would all dream of having Zidane or Messi in our team, but someone who has less technique, but who gives himself body and soul, can be adored by the Vélodrome. The current went straight away with Pablo Longoria. He wants people who are 100% passionate and I think he saw that sincerity in me. I don’t need herbal teas (laughs). I want to live my passion 100% ” explained Jacques Cardoze, whose first words as communication director of Olympique de Marseille should appeal to Marseille fans. It must be said that the contrast is quite significant with Jacques-Henri Eyraud or even Hugues Ouvrard, who occupied strategic and crucial roles a few weeks ago.
