After his success with River Plate, Marcelo Gallardo has become one of the targets of several teams in the 'Old Continent'. However, in recent weeks, there has been much talk of a possible interest from PSG, a club in which great figures such as Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Neymar, among others, play. That said, it seems that this is not the only French club interested in securing the services of the 'Muñeco'. According to the information provided by Foot Mercato, Olympique de Marseille hopes to hire the coach for the next season.
It is worth noting that the Argentine is without a team and analyzing different proposals on the table. The idea of the former River coach is to find a club with a good sports project, one that allows him to achieve the same success he had with the 'Millonario' team.
However, in recent days, new suitors like Leeds United and Ajax have also appeared. Nevertheless, the 'Muñeco' has turned down these proposals, unlike the one presented by Olympique de Marseille, a club he and his entourage value highly.
The 'Olympians' are looking for a top-level coach, as they have qualified for the next edition of the Champions League. For this reason, Gallardo is appreciated for his experience and playing style. During his time at River, he won two Copa Libertadores and one Copa Sudamericana, something that demonstrates his ability to achieve great results in international championships.
A difficult task
The competition to sign Gallardo is complicated. Other clubs have also shown interest in his services, indicating the high level of recognition he has achieved in the world of football. Because of this, Marseille will have to act quickly and present a solid offer to convince the coach to join their team in the summer transfer market.
For now, the future of the 'Muñeco' remains in suspense as he evaluates the options he has on the table. OM made it clear that they want to have his services, and the name of the strategist has become a very attractive possibility. The next few days will be key in determining whether the former River Plate coach accepts the challenge of leading the French team in their new adventure in the Champions League.
