Funeral of René Malleville: Stéphane Tapie discreet among the anonymous for a last tribute

René Malleville’s funeral was held in Marseille on Friday September 24. The family and supporters of OM were present in droves for a last farewell to the emblematic figure of the Marseille football club. Among them, Stéphane Tapie who posted a symbolic image on Instagram.

Relatives of René Malleville say a last goodbye to him. The supporters of Olympique de Marseille and the family of the deceased gathered Friday, September 24 in Marseille for his funeral. The newspaper Provence was present at the ceremony open to the public, in the parish of Saint-Miter, in the 13th arrondissement in Marseille. Hundreds of people responded, including a familiar face: that of Stephane Tapie. The son of Bernard Tapie, who is none other than the former owner of Olympique de Marseille, paid a vibrant tribute to René Malleville on Instagram, posting a photo of a blue and white jersey and of the 1993 Champions League trophy, moose replica. “Have a nice trip, Uncle”, he wrote quite simply, Friday, September 24 on Instagram.

OM player Alvaro Gonzalez placeholder image paid tribute to him on social networks through a video: “Hello friends, this is another hard and sad note for OM, for all the supporters and the players too. I want to send a message of support to the family, to the supporters, to all those who are injured and to the hospital. It is a very, very sad day for us.” René Malleville fought for a long time against the disease, in vain.
