Marseille: Mehdi Benatia's ex-assistant Ali Zarrak hits back at Papin

Ali Zarrak responded on Thursday to accusations of psychological harassment made by Jean-Pierre Papin, according to RMC Sport. The two men crossed paths at Olympique de Marseille.

Still employed by the club, Mehdi Benatia's former assistant did not stop at defending himself. According to RMC Sport, he went after the 1991 Ballon d'Or winner and his coaching career, which he describes as very low level.

The public exchange between the two former Marseille colleagues is growing increasingly tense.
