heralds michael burgess suggesting victory assistant may be new nix coach.. jean paul marigny 54 yo mauritius born ex aussie international

A quiet achiever?

Here's the Burgess article. Interesting that is says:

'However, he's been a behind-the-scenes man for most of his coaching career, so the transition to the weekly pressure would be the biggest hurdle.'

I can't comment on his coaching ability but he was one of the most quiet, modest blokes around. The opposite of Bozza or Robbie Slater if you will. As a young man I was a paid up member of Sydney City and from time to time we had "meet the team" sessions in Bondi organised by Eddie Thomson. I got to talk to J-P as we were of similar age and had a common experience of being a young migrant in Sydney.

If he is still like that, then he would be an older, more world-weary version of Chris Greenacre, with a bit of more coaching under his belt.
