It is 11 p.m. this Saturday, May 21 and the Vélodrome is intoxicated. At the end of a thrilling outcome, OM snatch their direct qualification in the Champions League. On the field, players, staff and management exult. Captain Steve Mandanda is also savoring the present moment. A month and a half later, the atmosphere is more subdued. After careful consideration, the player trained in Le Havre decides, in agreement with OM, to join Stade Rennais, with whom he has already started summer preparation.
