The Football Club de Marseille offers you to follow the current situation of OM competitors, including the PSG, Monaco, Lyon, Nice and LOSC, as well as Lens. As a difficult end of the season approaches, the Lyon Olympian may experience profound changes in its direction. Since November 2023, Laurent Prud’homme, the current general manager of OL, has been at the centre of discussions within the club. According to several consistent sources, including RMC Sport, Prud’homme’s situation now seems uncertain.

US owner John Textor, head of OL’s Eagle Football group, expressed dissatisfaction with the club’s recent counterperformance. The defeats against Manchester United and AS Saint-Étienne marked a turning point in internal relations. According to witnesses present, an altercation broke out between Textor and Prud’homme after the elimination of the Lyons in Old Trafford, even preventing Prud’homme from entering the locker room.

At this stage, two scenarios are envisaged: Prud’homme could leave in the coming weeks or he could remain in office with redefined assignments and a narrower scope of action. This would be part of a broader plan to reorganise management with a view to a future introduction to the stock exchange. In particular, Laurent Prud’homme is accused of an involvement deemed too important in the sports sector, an area which is not directly part of his prerogatives.

Despite these tensions, the club’s entourage affirms that the personal relationship between Textor and Prud’homme remains good. A start or evolution of Prud’homme’s position could therefore be made in the coming days, in a club always seeking structural stability.
