OM: Igor Tudor arrives, the locker room sweaty – Foot01

If the OM players liked the Sampaoli method, they shouldn’t be too out of their element with Igor Tudor. In shock after the surprise departure of Jorge Sampaoli, the players of Olympique de Marseille will meet their new coach on Monday afternoon. This is Igor Tudor, in post last season at Hellas Verona, where he finished in 9th place in Serie A with one of the best attacks in the championship. Unknown in France, the 44-year-old Croatian technician has a rather good reputation abroad. A trend confirmed by Adrien Tameze, former player of OGC Nice and Atalanta Bergamo, who played under the orders of Igor Tudor in Verona last season. Asked by RMC, the 28-year-old midfielder painted a portrait of the future OM coach. And one would almost believe that he evokes Jorge Sampaoli in view of the description made. Igor Tudor, a coach similar to Sampaoli? “He is a coach who asks a lot of his players, he wants constant all-terrain pressing. We won quite a few games against the big boys last season, and I think this game system helped us a lot. I told people from Marseille who called me, and I didn’t lie to them. I told them it was going to be difficult and intense in training, but it helps us at the weekend when we’re on the pitch… He’s bloodthirsty, someone who is hungry, who always wants more. Like Sampaoli, he really lives football to the full” explained Adrien Tameze, for whom the players of Olympique de Marseille will not be out of place with Igor Tudor, who will be accompanied in Provence by a world champion in the person of charismatic Mauro Camoranesi. A new staff in which Pablo Longoria has full confidence since on Friday, the president of OM explained at a press conference that his choice was made for the succession of Jorge Sampaoli.
