FC Bourgoin-Jallieu may have had an impact on the coaching career of Jean-Pierre Papin. Coach of the Olympique de Marseille reserve, the legend of the Marseille club would have declined the offer of Martigues (Ligue 2) to succeed Thierry Laurey on the bench… following the humiliation against the Isérois.
Martigues has been looking for a new coach since December 16
According to La Provence on December 21, on the morning of the Coupe de France round of 32 match against FCBJ, an agreement almost concluded between Papin and Martigues. But, after the elimination of the bottom of Ligue 2 against a National 3 team, the former OM scorer and 1991 Ballon d'Or would have turned back.
According to the latest information from the local media, Jean-Pierre Papin has finally declined the Martega proposal and will continue his mission with the OM II team. Martigues is still looking for his coach after the ouster of Thierry Laurey on December 16.
For its part, FCBJ will face Lyon at the Pierre-Rajon stadium in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France on Wednesday January 15 at 6 p.m.
