Coronavirus: Andy Delort sends support to ex-Marseille president Pape Diouf

Andy Delort sent a message of support to former Olympique Marseille president Pape Diouf following his battle with the coronavirus.

Diouf became the first black president of a first-tier European football club having assumed the position as the Phocaeans’ head in 2005.

He was in charge of that role for five years before he was replaced by Jean-Claude Dassier.

The Senegalese has since been placed under respiratory assistance in Dakar’s Fann hospital.

Nevertheless, the Algeria international took to social media to offer a message of support to the 68-year-old.

“With all my heart with Pape Diouf, you’re going to win, we all hope,” Delort twitted.
