The 45-year-old is considered the big favorite and is expected to succeed Marcelino, who and his coaching team felt unable to continue the task due to hostility from fan circles.

“Marseille wanted a coach with character to shake up a group lacking personality and adapt to a crisis environment. “Gattuso is coming as a firefighter to get the ailing OM going again,” said “RMC Sport” in its mission. Club boss Longoria also recently had contact with ex-PSG coach Galtier, who had already been traded in the summer.

Marcelino only took over at the end of June after Igor Tudor’s resignation. Responsible for the abandonment were hostility from fan circles, who met the sporting leadership in a meeting as a result of the disappointing start to the season. Longoria recently announced that he would remain president of Olympique Marseille. The 37-year-old had previously taken a temporary break for a few days, as had sports director Javier Ribalta, finance director Stéphane Tessier and youth director Pedro Iriondo. Most recently, the previous assistant coach Jacques Abardonado was on the sidelines on an interim basis at OM.
