“From the first day,Marc wanted to do everything and control everything. From the start, he was present at all training. He saw what I was doing. At no time did he come to tell me that the quality of training was not good or that the players had a concern,” Euvrard explained.

The disagreements escalated to discussions about team selection. Euvrard claims Marc insisted on playing players in a specific system dictated by the transfers he had made. “We talked a lot about the composition of the team and he made me understand that he had made transfers, to play in a certain system. We had disagreements,” Euvrard said.
