The time is ripe for the Olympique de Marseille president to make some big changes at the club and the president should try strengthening the team in the upcoming summer transfer window
Perhaps, Vincent Labrune is under more pressure than most of the people at the club. the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 president has dealt with a lot of complicated issues this season. The likes of coach Didier Deschamps, and sporting director Jose Anigo, don’t
seem to see eye to eye and the president has done his best to pacify the situation.
Furthermore, the man has to face stiff criticism from former presidents of the club. on top of that, the club’s financial situation has also been a huge pain in the neck for Labrune.
Last night, owner of the club, Margarita Louis-Dreyfus, did not hide her displeasure at the current situation of the club. She knows that the club has taken a major fall from grace. Furthermore, the owner hasn’t been impressed with how things have changed
between Deschamps and Anigo.
Reports claim that Margarita has asked Labrune to quickly sort out the situation or choose between either his coach Deschamps or the director of sports, Jose Anigo.
La Provence reports that Labrune is seemingly not willing to comply with the owner as he feels that both men are an important part of the project. Despite a difficult end to the campaign, Labrune is adamant that things will improve between the duo.
There is certainly a sense in Labrune’s arguments. The president knows that if he fires Didier Deschamps, he will have to pay around 7 million euros to DD as severance. Marseille are in no position to do so considering their financial woes.
Furthermore, parting ways with Jose Anigo would also have severe consequences. The director of sport has been the main reason why Les Phoceens were able to sign players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordan-Ayew-c19098.
Anigo’s departure would certainly be a big loss to the club in the long run as they will have a lot of difficulty in finding someone of Anigo’s stature.
