Mason Greenwood officially gets new boss

Mason Greenwood’s rollercoaster season at Olympique de Marseille has taken another administrative turn, with the club announcing Alban Juster as the new President of the Management Board. The 23-year-old forward, enjoying the most prolific campaign of his career with 23 goals since arriving from Manchester United in 2024, now has a fresh face steering the club’s future.

Juster’s appointment follows the departure of manager Roberto De Zerbi and swirling speculation over Director of Football Medhi Benatia’s role, leaving Marseille navigating both on-field ambitions and off-field turbulence. Currently five points adrift of third-placed Lyon in the race for next season’s Champions League, every decision at boardroom level carries heightened stakes.

A Marseille stalwart of eight years, Juster previously served as General Manager Finance & Compliance Officer. He will work alongside fellow board members Alessandro Antonello and newly appointed Secretary General Benjamin Arnaud in what the club terms an “interim governance structure” while a permanent president is sought. The trio’s mandate, according to the club’s official statement, is to guarantee “administrative, financial and operational continuity” and to “pursue sporting and economic priorities” without disruption.

For Greenwood, the reshuffle adds another layer of context to a season already defined by personal resurgence and collective uncertainty. How Juster chooses to shape squad strategy—particularly with European qualification on the line—will determine whether the England-born striker’s goal glut translates into a return to elite continental competition for Marseille.
