Olympique de Marseille manages goalkeeper hierarchy amid mixed results
The goalkeeping hierarchy at Olympique de Marseille is undergoing shifts following the departure of Gerónimo Rulli to Manchester City. Jeffrey de Lange has assumed the role of primary goalkeeper, though his early season performance has been inconsistent. De Lange has conceded several goals in recent matches, including during losses to Monaco and Paris FC.
Despite these mixed results, manager Bruno Genesio and the club staff have maintained their confidence in the Dutch goalkeeper, noting that he has not committed major technical errors and requires more match rhythm to stabilize the defense.
Concurrently, there is internal discussion regarding the club's secondary goalkeeper position. While Théo Vernot has been positioned as the number two, there are reports suggesting interest in promoting the young Ibrahim Gomis to the role due to his potential and the club's desire to integrate future talent.
