McCourt expected for Strasbourg visit
Marseille will have their owner present at the Vélodrome when Strasbourg arrive this weekend. Frank McCourt is due to watch the match from the stands, adding a high-profile figure to a Saturday afternoon fixture that comes at a delicate moment in the club’s season.
His presence should not, however, be read as an emergency intervention following the exit of head coach Roberto De Zerbi. McCourt’s trip is unrelated to the current sporting situation around the first team.
A Vélodrome date on matchday 22
The meeting with Strasbourg kicks off at 17:00 on Saturday as Marseille continue their Ligue 1 campaign on matchday 22. The Vélodrome will again be the setting, with the focus set to be on the pitch rather than on events in the boardroom.
For Marseille, the task is straightforward: turn a home afternoon into points and give the supporters something to hold on to after another change on the touchline.
