Jorge Sampaoli does not intend to make up the numbers with Olympique de Marseille. At the end of the season, the Argentinian technician has a clear objective: to qualify the Marseille club for the Champions League.
If the current 3rd in the Ligue 1 standings manages to achieve his goal, what will OM’s objectives be for the 2022-2023 financial year? And above all, what will be the investments of the owner Frank McCourt? Sampaoli is obviously asking himself these questions…
The Argentinian wants sincere
Invited to speak about his future this Thursday at a press conference, the 62-year-old man, under contract until June 2023, was unable to ensure his presence on the Marseille bench next season.
