There was tension on the side of Olympique de Marseille! Indeed, the behavior of Jean-Pierre Papin has been singled out. However, the 1991 Ballon d'Or empty his bag in Provence, claiming that he had tensions with Ali Zarrak. “I have a problem with a certain person. I am a coach and I cannot accept that this person (without naming him, Ali Zarrak), chooses my five substitutes.” This Monday, the two men were summoned by the president of the Marseille club, Pablo Longoria.
Jean-Pierre Papin remains in post
Jean-Pierre Papin is now determined on his fate. The Olympique de Marseille legend remains at the head of the Marseille reserve, reports RMC Sport. The other protagonist in the affair, Ali Zarrak also remains at the club, but will no longer be a link between the professional team and that of the reserve. This decision taken by Pablo Longoria reduced the pressure within OM. A matter that we now hope is behind the two men.
