Former OM captain, Habib Beye believed he could get bonuses for players. But Pope Diouf, then president of Olympique de Marseille, quickly informed him that he was wrong.
Pape Diouf refused bonuses to Habib Beye
Tributes continue to fall on the memory of Pope Diouf, former President of Marseille (2005-2009) who died Tuesday evening in Dakar as a result of the coronavirus. Habib Beye, who knew the illustrious disappeared well, remembered a fact which opposed them when they were both in the service of the OM. The former Marseille defender had met the president to negotiate bonuses for the players. The ex-journalist immediately explained to Habib Beye that it was out of the question to grant bonuses to players when OM were not champions.
“Pope tells me‘ But why do you want bonuses, we’re at Olympique de Marseille. Here we have to finish champion. Why are you coming to get bonuses for being second, third or fourth? ’Pope was that. I went back to the locker room, and the players stood up a little against me. But the Pope spoke to them and repeated: ‘Here there is no bonus for being second, third or fourth. When you’re at OM, you come to win and for first place, “said the famous consultant on Canal +.
