Provence gives us the verdict of President Pablo Longoria. Jean-Pierre Papin will stay with the OM reserve. Ali Zarrak, with whom the coach had had tensions in recent months, will also remain at the club. However, he will be assigned to other functions in order to no longer be in contact with JPP.

Di Meco's revelations about the conflict with Papin
The former OM defender Eric Di Meco mentioned the conflict within OM between the former Ballon d'Or, Jean-Pierre Papinet Ali Zararhead of Pro 2 and deputy of Medhi Benatia.
“When you are a reserve coach, you find yourself constantly torn between your desire to be competitive and the demands of the professional group. When Jean-Pierre is called, it is to avoid the relegation of the reserves, and he even manages to bring them back to the top of the ranking. The National 3 is the fifth division, so it makes me smile when we say that we are preparing the young people of this championship to play in Ligue 1. You have seen a lot of young people playing in the first team in recent times years at OM? explains Di Meco before continuing.
“Today, Jean-Pierre is in the lead, and I sincerely think that, in the interest of OM, it would be more useful for the reserves to move up to National 2, because that would allow the players to be better trained. Then, Jean Pierre has no problem with De Zerbi, who has other priorities than worrying about Bacola's position, whether he plays midfielder or center forward.
The problem is that there is a director of the reserve who has taken on a lot of importance recently. This is the same one who was in conflict with Mbemba. This gentleman apparently lacks diplomacy… He speaks badly to people. He arrived with Tessier, and if we look at his career, it seems to have often happened like this in his previous clubs. He is presented as close to Mehdi Benatia, but it was not he who brought him in, he was already in office before.
There is therefore a conflict between two men, and, from what I know, management has difficulty deciding,” declared the former OM defender. Eric Di Meco at the microphone of RMC Sport.
