Modou Sougou Faces Uncertain Future at Marseille Amid Bielsa Overhaul
Senegalese striker Modou Sougou, who spent last season on loan at Evian-Thonon-Gaillard, finds himself sidelined under Marseille’s new coach, Marcelo Bielsa. As Sougou returns to training with the club’s reserve squad, questions linger over his role and future at the French club.
Sougou has joined a group of players including Foued Kadir, Rod Fanni, Billel Omrani, and Saber Khalifa, who have been assigned to train with the CFA 2 team led by Thomas Fernandez. This move signals that they are currently not in Bielsa’s first-team plans.
Ahead of his return to training, Sougou took to Twitter to express his concerns and uncertainty about what lies ahead, highlighting the difficult position many players face amid Bielsa’s squad restructuring.
With the new season approaching, Sougou and his teammates will have to prove their worth if they hope to regain a place in Marseille’s senior squad under Bielsa’s demanding management style.
