The climate is more tense than ever at the Marseille Olympique, where Andoni Zubizarreta’s departure caused epidermic reactions.
In the Marseille locker room, the 58-year-old sports director was unanimous. And while his departure could precipitate that of André Villas-Boas, the locker room managers hold it against Jacques-Henri Eyraud. Some of them told their president directly on Saturday by boycotting a photo shoot as part of the promotion of the future Olympique de Marseille PUMA jersey. Steve Mandanda and a foreign player on the squad, whose identity has not filtered, were notably involved. A bomb quickly defused, according to information obtained by RMC. For the captain of Olympique de Marseille, the heart was simply not to pose for the cameras after the announcement of the departure of Zubizarreta on Thursday.
But the Olympian captain is not on strike or on the start since the media says that Steve Mandanda will participate in a photo shoot scheduled for next week. In addition, the radio spoke to an intimate in the locker room. And the testimony confirms that there is a lack of understanding among the players after the departure of Zubizarreta. “The players are aware of the economic situation of the club, but we cannot blame them for being ambitious. They feel like they have given a lot, and that there is still a lot to do with this coach and this Champions League. They sense that the coach is at risk of leaving, and they find it difficult to accept it, it makes sense “. It remains to be seen whether the departure of André Villas-Boas will be confirmed when this Sunday, OM supporters and players saw a little ray of hope. Because the representative of the Portuguese coach told JDD that Villas-Boas “Was waiting for the offer to extend the contract” promised via a press release by Frank McCourt, early Saturday evening.
