Beyond the financial restructuring, the immediate priority for the club is filling the vacuum at the top of the executive hierarchy. Following the departure of president Pablo Longoria earlier this season, McCourt is actively vetting candidates to lead the club into its next era. He confirmed that "the process has indeed begun" and that the club is looking for a specific type of leader to handle the unique pressure of Marseille. "My preference is for someone who knows France and Marseille well, because I think it is crucial to understand the club's culture," McCourt explained. "The person must also be a major, experienced manager."
