If he failed Martigues (Ligue 2) to remain at the head of the OM reserve, Jean-Pierre Papin still annoys his leaders just as much.
While those close to Jean-Pierre Papin believe in Provence that the latter made the “right decision” by not going into the “struggle” of FC Martigues in Ligue 2 and by choosing “to go through with his mission with OM”, the Pro2 coach still arouses just as much tension within the club… even if the problem with Ali Zarrak has been put aside.
In this Sunday's edition, the local daily ensures that JPP is still causing internal cringe. “If he agrees to join the club's new project, we will be very happy to be able to count on him. It’s a question of rules, discipline and sporting strategy,” says a manager on the subject.
The club annoyed by the Papin method
It is moreover on these points that the tensions around the Papin case are the greatest while the Ballon d'Or continues to play the snipers, preferring to play the rise in National 2 rather than supporting the growth of young shoots.
To smooth things over with JPP, and take over in the medium term according to certain versions denied by the club, OM recruited the experienced Romain Ferrier (ex-Rennes and Bordeaux) last December. The person concerned took control of the training sessions, which were considered too light by the staff. Funny atmosphere internally at OM.
