Currently coach of the OM reserves in National 3, Jean-Pierre Papin could soon occupy the position of coach of FC Martigues. According to the latest information from RMC Sport, the 1991 Ballon d'Or would be interested in the project of the red lantern of Ligue 2.
To be able to join Martigues, the former AC Milan scorer must release himself from his contract at OM, and the club from the Marseille city should not slow down his departure. Everything seems on track for “JPP” to return to the bench of a professional club after his stints at RC Strasbourg (2006-2007), RC Lens (2007-2008) and Châteauroux (2009-2010). Free since his departure from Nîmes Olympique (National), Frédéric Bompart is also targeted by Martigues.
Martigues in great difficulty
Red lantern of Ligue 2, FC Martigues parted ways with its coach Thierry Laurey after the heavy defeat on the lawn of Estac Troyes (4-0) during the 16e day of Ligue 2. Still involved in the Coupe de France, the promoted team is playing its 32nd this Saturday, December 21e in the Coupe de France final against Bourgoin-Jallieu (National 3).
