Ahead of Saturday’s match against Monaco in Ligue 1, Marseille supporters displayed a banner to protest against the management.
Marseille supporters have a message to send. On the sidelines welcoming AS Monaco during matchday 19 of Ligue 1 this Saturday, the southern bend displayed the banner for Marseilles in a delicate period for the Marseille club’s headquarters. “Ghost owner, old president, fugitive leaders. You are the image of this season: bogus,” they wrote.

Decimated workforce for OM
Already reduced by seven players selected to play in the African Cup of Nations – with Cameroonian Faris Moumbagna an eighth player added, the Marseille club must also manage injuries to Valentin Rongier, Amir Murillo and Bilal Nadir in addition to Samuel’s suspension. Gigot to welcome the Monegasques on Saturday evening.
From a sporting point of view, the situation is not the best for OM. Apart from a slow win against Thionville in the round of 32 of the Coupe de France (0-1), Marseille have disappeared from the competition since losing on penalties to Rennes (1-1, 9-8 TAB). In the Championship, Gennaro Gattuso’s men have not won since December 17 against Clermont (2-1).
