Marcelo Bielsa is being considered as a potential successor to José Anigo as the coach of Olympique de Marseille (OM). Bielsa, aged 58, has been without a contract since leaving Athletic Bilbao at the end of the previous season. He gained fame for his coaching achievements, including winning the gold medal with the Argentine national team at the Athens Olympic Games in 2004.
Bielsa’s potential appointment at OM is being closely watched, especially as he is reportedly still considering other opportunities, such as coaching the Moroccan national team for the upcoming 2015 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN), which Morocco is hosting.
Although Bielsa attended OM’s match against Montpellier, it seems he has not yet provided a definitive answer regarding his potential role at the club. Some sources suggest that his decision may be announced by Friday.
Overall, the possibility of Bielsa taking over at OM has generated significant interest and speculation among fans and observers of the club.
