Overview
- Following Monday’s RMC broadcast, 33-year-old media figure Mohamed Bouhafsi emerged as the name “circulating the most” to succeed outgoing president Pablo Longoria.
- La Provence reports only informal contacts so far with Bouhafsi, no formal offer on the table, and says he has been unreachable since the speculation surfaced.
- Frank McCourt told the Journal du Dimanche that the hiring process is underway, prefers someone who knows Marseille and France, and hopes to announce before the season closes.
- Excel Sports Management is helping vet a wave of applications, though not every candidacy is routed through the firm, reflecting a search shaped by leaks and unsolicited pitches.
- Other names have appeared in press reports, including Guillaume Cerutti, which a close source denied, signaling that the field remains open and the choice unconfirmed.
