OM, les premières annonces du nouveau président
Tout juste nommé à la tête de l’OM, Stéphane Richard a livré ses premières annonces, évoquant la nécessité de stabilité pour les prochaines saisons.
www.sports.frHere’s the latest I can share:
- In early 2026, the OM (Olympique de Marseille) announced a leadership change, with Alban Juster initially stepping in as interim president after Pablo Longoria, and later reports pointed to Stéphane Richard (former Orange CEO) taking the helm, with formal duties commencing in mid-2026. This sequence reflects an interim period followed by a more permanent leadership transition.[1][2][4]
- Stéphane Richard has publicly outlined ambitions for stability and performance as the club aims for European qualification in upcoming seasons, with initial remarks stressing a strong project and direction for OM’s future.[2][5]
- Coverage from French outlets during spring 2026 emphasized the transition timing (effectif by the next season) and the strategic priorities associated with the new presidency, including leadership clarity and long-term planning.[4][5][9]
Illustration of the situation:
- Timeline snapshot: Pablo Longoria departs → Alban Juster serves in interim role → Stéphane Richard appointed as new president, with official duties starting July 2026 for long-term projects.[3][1][2]
If you’d like, I can compile a concise one-page summary with key dates, the leadership lineup, and the stated priorities from the primary sources. I can also pull the most recent quotes or press conference highlights from the current French sports press.
