dirigente del club galo murió a los 68 años antes de ser repatriado de Senegal
a Francia en un avión sanitario.
Según confirmaron
fuentes de su familia, el ex presidente del Marsella Pape Diouf ha fallecido
este martes a los 68 años a causa del coronavirus. Estaba previsto que Pape
Diouf fuera repatriado de Dakar a Niza en un avión sanitario, pero no fue
posible porque el estado de salud del ex dirigente del club marsellés empeoró.
El Marsella está de luto y también el fútbol francés. Kylian Mbappé fue uno de

familia.

fuentes de su familia. Mensajes de dolor y de apoyo a sus seres queridos
empezaron a llegar en cuanto se confirmó la noticia.
Plus aucune place pour la rivalité ce soir. Très triste d’apprendre le décès d’un monument de notre football, mes condoléances à la famille Diouf.
