After having to find his future coach very quickly, Pablo Longoria decided to make a great offer to Sergio Conceicao. However, this is a very complex issue and will not be solved easily.
Pablo Longoria was spotted looking sad when leaving the Marseille dressing room after Wednesday evening's match at Reims, and he immediately took charge of coaching… Portugal. Many informants confirm that the Marseille president went looking for his future coach and decided to do everything he could. After being forced without real success to bring in Paulo Fonseca, who wants to wait until the end of the season and also the response of Milan who has his favourites, the Spanish leader does not intend to wait indefinitely for a response. He decided to go ahead and contact Sergio Conceicao.
The big show of Conceiçao
Another highly rated Portuguese technician, who was also against Milan. But the former Lazio, Roma, Parma and Inter Milan player has ants on his legs, having already experienced the French league with some success with FC Nantes. But he ended up leaving the Yellow House to everyone's surprise, because he was very attracted to the idea of coaching his favorite club, Porto. But things have changed at the Dragons and Sergio Conceição will have to leave his place due to particularly big changes at the head of the club, where former Marseille player Andre Villas-Boas now finds himself. A deal that Pablo Longoria does not want to miss.

According to journalist Sascha Tavoleri, the OM president went to meet the candidate directly, offering him a very long-term contract, which according to other sources could be up to four years. The aim will also be to include the Portuguese in Marseille's future transfer window which will inevitably take shape soon. Concrete proposals and a great offer that make it clear that the Olympique leaders want to resolve the issue of this first coach as quickly as possible, even if not everyone is necessarily ready to commit so quickly to OM so that the season does not officially end. It is a file considered very complex, according to the Belgian journalist, and Longoria will certainly not succeed in completing it in one visit and a few days of discussions.
In any case, if he can follow through on his intentions with Sergio Conceicao, Pablo Longoria will bring in a fiery coach who knows the French league and is used to leading an ambitious team. Plenty of qualities that make Luis Figo's ex-boyfriend a technician so desirable to OM.
