OM: Rami shows his claws, he challenges Eyraud in MMA

Guest of the promotion of the new Netflix series by Franck Gastambide “The Cage”Adil Rami answered a question and added a layer on his relationship with his former president at OM, Jacques-Henri Eyraud.

Adil Rami may have enjoyed his time at Olympique de Marseille between 2017 and 2019, but there are certain things that still hurt him and that he would have liked to change. We know that his relationship with his former president at OM, Jacques-Henri Eyraud, was not optimal. On the occasion of the promotion of the series “The Cage” by Franck Gastambide, the former French international central defender, now 38 years old, added a layer on Eyraud. To the question “Who would you like to face in an MMA cage?”the one who also passed through LOSC, AC Milan or even Sevilla FC reacted in a very cash way: “Jacques-Henri Eyraud, I smash him. Because I simply don’t like him.” Known for not having his tongue in his pocket, Rami has once again shown that he is not afraid to say what is on his mind.

Eyraud, a bad memory for Rami at OM

During his visit to Canebière, OM was under reconstruction under the orders of Jacques-Henri Eyraud. In September 2023, then a consultant for Prime Video, Adil Rami revealed the true nature of his relationship with his former president when OM had just experienced an internal crisis with the resignation of Marcelino a few days earlier: “They say that Marseille is a country within a country. Personally, I have experienced worse with one of the worst presidents in the world of football that everyone knows, Jacques-Henri Eyraud. I know the man a little and I don't want to get into anything extra-sporting. But I mainly based myself on the coach (Marcelino) who was a bad choice. Especially when he dared to say that the supporters had fun and were not bored. I think that was really shooting yourself in the foot. And through this statement, it really shows that you don't know Olympique de Marseille, you don't respect the club.he said at the time. One thing is certain, the two men will never go on vacation together.
