(Reuters) - Pablo Longoria will stay on as Olympique de Marseille president amid tensions with fan groups after the Spaniard said on Friday that he had received "unconditional support" from the French Ligue 1 club's owner Frank McCourt.

Marseille had hit out at their fans' representatives earlier this week after they allegedly threatened the club's management and pressured them to resign during a meeting held on Monday, saying they had received "personal threats".
