At the end of the season, Olympique de Marseille will have to find a new coach. In fact, the French press has thrown up a number of names, including Habib Beye, as potential candidates.But for Jérôme Rothen, there is one ideal candidate: Djamel Belmadi. According to the RMC Sport consultant, the former Fennecs coach can do the job.
“We need a strong coach with personality, who can stand up to the media and the fans when they put pressure on him. When you talk to me about Conceição, yes, he's not afraid of anyone, but there's another one: Belmadi, who did great things with Algeria. He played at OM and is attached to the club. He was criticized for the African Cup, but maybe he wants to take over a club. In a project like this, there's perhaps no need to sell him a major shake-up of the squad,” says the former Monaco player. Djamel Belmadi knows the Marseille club well, having played there between 1997/1998 and then from 2000 to 2003.
🗣️ "Il faut un entraîneur à poigne, qui a de la personnalité et qui arrivera à dire 'merde' aux médias ou aux supporters quand lui ils lui mettront la pression. Ce n'est pas donné à tout le monde"
Pour @RothenJerome, Belmadi a le profil idéal pour remplacer Gasset à l'OM. pic.twitter.com/KN1WNxPXkv
