Dimitri Payet does not rule out the possibility of becoming a coach at the end of his playing career. What if he sat on the OM bench?
On June 21, President Pablo Longoria and Dimitri Payet announced during a press conference the departure of the player from Olympique de Marseille. Less than a month later, the French international (38 caps) signed with the Brazilian club CR Vasco de Gama for a period of two years.

But it’s something, I think, that I wouldn’t mind.”confided the former West Ham attacking midfielder during an interview given to Antenna Meeting.

It will be decided at the end of my career. As late as possible… “had announced in the columns of Provence the one who spent nine seasons in Olympian colors.
