Marcelo Bielsa Linked to OM Job Amid Uncertainty
The speculation surrounding the future of Olympique de Marseille (OM) continues, with Marcelo Bielsa’s name emerging as a potential candidate to succeed José Anigo, who has been filling in as interim coach since Elie Baup’s departure.
Bielsa, the renowned Argentine coach, has been a free agent since leaving Athletic Bilbao at the end of the previous season. Known for his success with Argentina, including guiding the national team to a gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics, Bielsa’s coaching prowess has long made him one of the most sought-after figures in world football.
Though his name has circulated as a potential replacement at OM, Bielsa has also been reportedly considering other opportunities, including a potential role with Morocco, the host nation for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN). The decision appears to be weighing on the 58-year-old coach, who has not made any definitive commitment yet.
Bielsa was spotted at OM’s recent match against Montpellier, fueling rumors of his imminent move to the French club. However, sources close to the situation suggest that a decision will not be made until Friday, as Bielsa takes his time to weigh all his options.
OM fans eagerly await clarity on whether the tactical genius will take the helm of their beloved club, but for now, the uncertainty continues to hang in the air.
