At OM, you have to be in the Champions League every season. You have to get it into your head. In three years, we want to establish ourselves in the twenty-four best European clubs with the new format of the Champions League. This will give an economy around all that, the resources to maintain itself at this level. (…) For me, there is a much stronger will from all the players, starting with the owner… Everyone is aligned. You want to build, you want it to last as long as possible, you insist on the same message, you hit like a hammer, every day, every day, every day. And since I have been president, he is the only coach who has been offered a three-season contract. If you take younger players to a club like OM, you take a sporting risk. But if you provide continuity, it can have sporting and financial benefits. Your level, you try to increase it: if a player is at 4/10, you believe that he can finish the season at 6/10, and that he can go to 7/10 the following season, etc. . »
