OM Mercato: Marseille’s lack of play and defeat against AC Milan (0-2) should have repercussions on the future of Igor Tudor.
OM Mercato: The discontent intensifies around Igor Tudor
A few months ago, Olympique de Marseille ended a great season, crowned by direct qualification for the next Champions League. The Phocaeans thus took advantage of the summer transfer window to strengthen their workforce, with the arrival of seven new recruits, before starting the new exercise. But not everything goes as planned. OM have just completed their summer preparation on a sad note. After three disappointing friendly matches, the Marseille club hosted AC Milan this Sunday in a boiling hot Velodrome stadium. But the men ofIgor Tudor missed their game, losing 2-0 at home.
The poor performance of the Marseillais and this negative result then quickly aroused the anger of the supporters. Dimitri Payet and his teammates were whistled by many fans. And the new Marseille coach is not spared. Between the hasty departure of his ” right arm “Mauro Camoranesihis desire to separate from certain key players like Bamba Dieng and his clash with Gerson, the Croatian technician now finds himself in an uncomfortable situation in Marseille. The media SportMed TV also reveals that “strong tensions appeared in the locker room after OM-Milan on Sunday evening”.
OM Mercato: A crisis meeting in Marseille
The atmosphere is tense at OM. Beyond a disappointing summer preparation (three defeats and a draw), it is above all the management of the group by Igor Tudor which is in question. Several sources also ensure that the locker room managers of Olympique de Marseille do not really adhere to the game system put in place by the Croatian technician. The columnist of The TeamGuillaume Daquet, indicates that several OM managers, including Dimiri Sequinasked to speak with President Pablo Longoria.
This crisis meeting scheduled for this week attests to the tense period that OM is currently experiencing. The objective of this meeting will be to remobilize, assume collective errors and find a solution in order to put an end to this series of negative results as soon as possible, before the resumption of the championship. And if for the moment a change of coach is not planned a priori, a new exit from the road in Ligue 1 could well precipitate events. Jorge Sampaoli’s successor is therefore not immune to dismissal. OM will host Stade de Reims next Sunday as part of the first day of Ligue 1.
