Sunday morning, Olympique de Marseille announced the signing of Pablo Longoria, new general manager in charge of football at the Marseille club.
Concretely, the former manager of Juventus Turin, Sassuolo or Atalanta Bergamo will replace Andoni Zubizarreta at the helm of the Marseille market. And the least one can say is that opinions differ about the 33-year-old Spaniard. The latter has left an excellent memory in Italy, where his methods of « geek » were highly appreciated in order to identify very promising young talents. On the other hand, the observation is more nuanced in Spain, where he obviously did not leave an imperishable memory on the side of FC Valencia.
In an interview without language granted to the SER chain mid-May and relayed this Tuesday by RMC, the technical secretary of the Spanish club Vincente Rodriguez had quite simply cut Pablo Longoria. “He didn’t show anything in Valencia because Mateu and Marcelino were in charge of the transfers. He scammed and abused me. One day I grabbed him and told him I didn’t want to work with him anymore. He did not dare to speak to Mateu about it. It shows what kind of person he is: a coward and a liar ” had notably indicated the former collaborator of Pablo Longoria at FC Valencia. A tackle with both feet off that will certainly titillate the followers of Olympique de Marseille, who are impatiently waiting to see the Spaniard in action at the Orange Vélodrome. As a reminder, it is on August 3 that Pablo Longoria will officially take office in the Marseille city, and he will be judged on his actions rather than on his previous passages.
