Papin (again) urges Marseille to move for Mourinho: They need him

Jean-Pierre Papin has again urged Olympique Marseille to move for Jose Mourinho.

The former Manchester United manager is being linked with a move to France this summer.

Papin told La Phoceen: "If you really want to change something at OM, the basis is to set up an iconic coach, an indisputable leader. When you know his track record wherever he went, his networks, his knowledge of the players, there are not 50 like him.

"In addition, I think it sticks to what OM needs today. We talk about him for Lyon, but I do not think that he corresponds to the style of the very offensive game of this club, while OM must start to win, and that, he knows how to do. OM must lead with names, and it starts with the bench."
