On Thursday, August 14, at 5:30 p.m., the show “Débat Foot Marseiller” will present an interview with Laurent Spinosi, former guardian and coach of the guards of the Olympique de Marseille. The summer was marked by an important turnover, with the departures of several key players such as Simon Ngapandouetnbu, Pau Lopez and Valentin Rongier. However, the arrival of promising new recruits, including Pierre-Emerik Aubameyang and Facundo Medina, aroused the enthusiasm of the supporters. Coach Roberto De Zerbi has moderate confidence, pointing out that the mercato is not yet finished and that he is focusing on improving the team’s competitiveness. The show will also address OM’s sporting ambitions, such as rivalry with Paris Saint-Germain and participation in the Champions League.

Pablo Longoria, OM’s sports director, unveiled an ambitious three-year plan to transform the club and position it among the European elite. This project is based on a regular qualification in the Champions League, considered essential for the financial stability and long-term development of the club. Longoria insists on the continuity and consistency of the actions, supported by the commitment of the owner Frank McCourt, even in case of temporary expenses. This strategy aims to create a virtuous circle where sport success and financial stability are mutually reinforcing.

Souleymane Diawara, former OM’s iconic central defender, continues to engage in football through various roles: consultant, leader, investor and mentor. Its post-career path is marked by a lasting commitment to the development of local and African football. Currently, he is vice-president of Marseille Consolat, a National 1 club, where he works on the long-term structuring of the club, with the objective of making him access to Ligue 2 and beyond. He remains attached to OM and has even been a shareholder of Athletico Marseille, a project aimed at offering opportunities to young people in the northern districts of Marseille.
