Italian coach Gennaro Gattuso, at the helm of Olympique de Marseille in France, has implemented a stringent training program for his players during the year-end holiday, including Moroccan internationals Amin Harit and Youssef En-Nesyri.
According to French outlet “Foot Mercato,” citing “La Provence,” Gennaro Gattuso has decided to subject all players to a specialized training regimen to ensure they return to regular sessions in optimal physical condition.
The program entails home workouts, incorporating extensive running sessions to maintain their physical fitness and endurance.
The French outlet notes that the training program, supervised by fitness coaches, extends to players currently enjoying their break outside of France.
Foremost among them is Moroccan international Harit, currently on vacation in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Olympique de Marseille faces the potential loss of services from nine African players, including Moroccan internationals Amin Harit and Youssef En-Nesyri, during the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire in 2023.
The move by Gattuso to institute a comprehensive training routine during the holiday period underscores his commitment to maintaining the players’ peak physical condition.
By incorporating home exercises and extensive running, the coach aims to ensure that the squad remains well-prepared for the challenges ahead.
Harit, who is currently relishing his vacation in Dubai, is actively participating in the tailored program, aligning with Gattuso’s vision for a dedicated and disciplined team.
As the players embrace this rigorous training regimen, Marseille aims to tackle the upcoming competitions with a squad finely tuned both physically and mentally.
The proactive approach taken by Gattuso highlights his dedication to fostering a strong and competitive team, ready to face the trials of the Africa Cup of Nations and maintain Olympique de Marseille’s stature on the football stage.
