Last in Ligue 2, Martigues dismisses his coach Thierry Laurey

A stormy meeting with the players

Laurey's management, known to everyone, very cash and without filter, whether in training or in matches, had surprised many in the Martégal locker room from the start of their collaboration. This only grew over the weeks, to the point that on the morning of November 5, the players, arriving at training, insisted on calling a meeting with their coach and the staff. They would have exposed their grievances, starting with his behavior deemed too direct, with words that were too crude. His tactical choices would also have been put on the table. Discussions had lasted all morning, to the point of having to cancel the planned session, which was finally held only in the afternoon.
