With rumors of André Villas-Boas leaving, who has not indicated his desire to stay or leave, different coaches are mentioned to come and settle on the bench of OM. Overview of the names circulating in recent days.
Note that Jacques-Henri Eyraud, if the Portuguese leaves, would be looking for a technician who knows Ligue 1 and who is not necessarily “expensive”. The profiles are therefore few.
Christophe Galtier (Lille)
It was one of the first names that was mentioned. Currently stationed in Lille, Christophe Galtier, the native of Marseille, has often been appointed for several seasons to take his place on the Olympian bench. In recent years, the two camps have often missed each other. When the OM was interested in him, the former Stéphanois technician was not interested. And vice versa. This season could be the right one. Especially since with a qualification in the Champions League, which is not the case with Losc, Galtier could be tempted by the challenge. He would have the advantage of knowing Ligue 1 well and would make a good profile.
Hervé Renard (Saudi Arabia)
Current coach of Saudi Arabia after a long stint in Africa (Zambia, Ivory Coast, Morocco), would Hervé Renard agree to try his luck in Ligue 1? After a failed experience in Sochaux and Lille, OM might be an opportunity to show themselves in France. The fact that the Marseille club has in its ranks Nasser Larguet, director of the training center, of which it is close, could argue in his favor. The fact remains that he currently has a gold contract until 2022 with the possibility of competing in the World Cup in Qatar.
Gaby Heinze (free)
It would be OM’s big bet. Gabriel Heinze left a very good mark on the Marseille side where he won the title of champion of France in 2010 under Didier Deschamps. Free after his first experiences in Argentina (Godoy Cruz, Argentinos Juniors, Velez), Gaby Heinze would obviously be tempted by a first experience in Europe. But would the presidency of the OM be ready to have a coach with such charisma?
Bernard Blaquart (Nîmes)
Announced on the departure for a few days, after four years of good and loyal service with the Crocodiles, could Bernard Blaquart be the new OM coach? Inexpensive and recognized for his work with Nîmes, it would perfectly fit the objective of economic discipline of the Olympian club. However, his experience at the very highest level is very weak. Apart from Ligue 1, he knew nothing. Complicated.
