Olympique de Marseille end Andre-Pierre Gignac – Didier Deschamps conflict – Ligue 1 news
Following their outburst in a recent training session, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 coach Didier Deschamps had dropped Andre-Pierre Gignac from the first team.
The frustrated striker has been consigned to a peripheral role at the club so far this season and has also fallen behind the pecking order in the Marseille squad. The Frenchman was on the verge of securing a move away from the club in the last hours of the
summer transfer window but was called back to the team as Marseille failed to secure the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Amauri-c5381.
Since the start of the campaign, Gignac has spent most of his time warming the bench and seeing young Jordan Ayew preferred over him. Following his outburst, it seemed likely that Gignac’s career at the club had come to an end.
However, things took a new shape in the last few days. In the 3-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday, striker Loic Remy sprained his ankle. The injury though is not a serious one but would keep out the youngster for some time.

striking department.
Club president Vincent Labrune is fully aware of the situation at the club and for the sake of the greater good of his side; the Frenchman has successfully sought a diplomatic solution to the Deschamps-Gignac saga.
The club has now reinstated the player to the first-team and the only punishment Gignac will be receiving would be apologising to Deschamps and the rest of the team as soon as he reports to training.
“The president of OM, Vincent Labrune and coach Didier Deschamps met with Andre-Pierre Gignac. Following discussions, it was agreed that the player will rejoin the first-team on Wednesday morning after having apologised to the entire workforce. OM is more
than ever focused on the importance of discipline and will always seek for a truce,” read an official statement on the club’s website.
Vincent Labrune’s arbitration was certainly a good measure in pacifying the situation before it was blown out of proportions as the club has only recently returned to their best form.
