A major shake-up is brewing at Olympique de Marseille. According to La Provence, Stéphane Richard, former CEO of Orange, is expected to become the club’s new president. An official announcement could come very soon.
A big move is imminent at OM, with Stéphane Richard closing in on the presidency. This marks a strong decision by Frank McCourt, the club’s owner, who appears ready to turn a new page in the club’s governance.
Speculation Grows Over a Potential Club Sale
This potential appointment is also reigniting another hot topic: the possible sale of the club. Back in 2023, Stéphane Richard had already mentioned the Saadé family, owners of CMA CGM: “Rodolphe is genuinely attached to the city. He is present, he invests money. He will eventually buy OM.”
That statement has resurfaced today, fueling fresh rumors surrounding Rodolphe Saadé and a potential future change in ownership.
Between the arrival of a new president and the possibility of a medium-term takeover, OM could be entering a brand-new era.
