Olympique de Marseille goalkeeper hierarchy shifts

Overview

Following the departure of Gerónimo Rulli to Manchester City, Olympique de Marseille has restructured its goalkeeping hierarchy. Manager Bruno Genesio officially named Dutch goalkeeper Jeffrey De Lange as the club’s primary choice, stating, “Jeff is our number one. Théo Vermot is number two.”

While De Lange has assumed the starting role, his early season performance has been characterized by inconsistency, including conceding goals during losses to Monaco and Paris FC. Despite these results, club staff have maintained confidence in De Lange, noting a lack of major technical errors and a need for match rhythm.

In addition to the primary role, the club is evaluating its secondary position. While Théo Vernot is currently positioned as the number two, there are internal discussions regarding the potential promotion of young talent Ibrahim Gomis to that role.
