A thunderclap could strike Marseille: Pablo Longoria could be dismissed to allow the return of… Medhi Benatia, who recently resigned. Pressure is mounting behind the scenes at OM. Since the shock announcement of Benatia’s departure on Sunday, the Marseille club has gone silent.
There has been no official statement and no clarification about the future of the leadership. Even president Pablo Longoria’s position now appears fragile, with uncertainty growing internally about the club’s direction.
Ownership Pressure Could Trigger Major Leadership Shake-Up
The situation could shift very quickly. Frank McCourt is expected in Marseille this Tuesday, and the American owner intends to take direct control again. According to people close to him, he is coming to make firm decisions — and he is not known for staying on the sidelines when a storm is brewing. Inside the club, a decisive day is expected.
A dramatic twist may still be possible. According to Daniel Riolo on After RMC, McCourt does not want to hear about Benatia leaving and sees him as a key figure in the project. As a result, the scenario of a total reversal is gaining momentum — with Benatia ultimately staying and Longoria potentially being shown the door. The saga is only just beginning.
