Marcelo Bielsa, the experienced coach, has been linked with multiple coaching opportunities, including the position of head coach for Morocco’s national team and potentially succeeding José Anigo at Olympique de Marseille (OM).
Bielsa, aged 58, has garnered attention due to his successful coaching career, which includes winning the gold medal with the Argentinian national team at the Athens Olympic Games in 2004. Following his departure from Athletic Bilbao at the end of the previous season, Bielsa has been available without any contractual obligations.
Despite being approached by OM’s President Vincent Labrune after failed negotiations with André Villas-Boas, Bielsa’s potential arrival at Marseille may be complicated due to strained relations between the supporters and the club’s management. However, Bielsa’s interest in coaching Morocco’s national team, especially with the upcoming 2015 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) being hosted by Morocco, presents another intriguing opportunity.
While José Anigo, the interim coach at OM, remains focused on the team’s performance and results, the potential arrival of Bielsa would undoubtedly bring significant changes and excitement to the club.
In summary, Marcelo Bielsa’s future remains uncertain as he weighs multiple coaching opportunities, including coaching Morocco’s national team and potentially leading Olympique de Marseille, amidst a backdrop of strained relations between the club and its supporters.
