'''Jean-Pierre Roger Guillaume Papin''' ({{IPA|fr|ʒɑ̃pjɛʁ papɛ̃}}; born 5 November 1963) is a French [[Manager (association football)|football manager]] and former professional [[Football player|player]] who played as a [[Forward (association football)|forward]]. He was most recently the head coach of the reserve team of [[Olympique de Marseille]]. He won the [[Ballon d'Or]] in 1991.

Papin was included in the [[FIFA 100]], a list of the greatest living footballers, published in 2004 for the centenary of the [[FIFA]], signed by [[Pelé]]. He was named one of the best European footballers on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the [[UEFA]] in 2004. He is famous in particular for his first-time strikes from distance, his overhead kicks, and his volleys, which are known as ''Papinades''. The nickname of JPP was given to him by supporters and journalists.

Trained at Jeumont, Papin signed his first professional contract in 1984 at [[Valenciennes FC|Valenciennes]]. Recruited by [[Club Brugge KV|Brugge]], he won the [[Belgian Cup]] and went on to be selected for the French team for the [[1986 FIFA World Cup]]. Signed by [[Olympique de Marseille|Marseille]], he experienced the pinnacle of his career as he won [[Ligue 1]] titles with Marseille in 1989, 1990, 1991 and 1992, the [[Coupe de France]] in 1989 and reached the final of the [[UEFA Champions League]] in 1991. In 1992, he left Olympique de Marseille for [[AC Milan]] in a record transfer; he won [[Serie A]] in 1994 and the UEFA Champions League. He joined [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]], where he won the [[UEFA Cup]] in 1996. He returned to France, to [[FC Girondins de Bordeaux|Bordeaux]], where he was a finalist in the [[Coupe de la Ligue]] in 1997 and 1998 and then ended his professional career at [[En Avant Guingamp|Guingamp]].

Capped 54 times, and captained 11 times, Papin played in the [[France national football team|French team]] which reached the 1986 World Cup Semi final. France failed to qualify for either the 1988 European Championships or the 1990 World Cup but he was part of the team for Euro 1992. Injuries and the emergence of the [[Zinedine Zidane]] generation saw his international career come to an end in the mid-1990s. He was out of favour by Euro'96 nor was he part of the set up which won the World Cup in 1998.

In 1996, after their eight-month-old daughter was shown to have serious cerebral lesions, Jean-Pierre and his wife set up an association "Neuf de Coeur" (Nine of Hearts; Papin's shirt number was 9) to help others in that situation and, particularly, to find and apply methods to mentally and physically educate such children.

== Club career ==
=== Valenciennes ===
At age 15, Papin started his professional career with Valenciennes, in Northern France, before moving to Club Brugge in Belgium.<ref name="parrish2014soccer">{{cite book |last1=Parrish |first1=Charles |last2=Nauright |first2=John |date=2014 |title=Soccer around the world: a cultural guide to the World's favourite sport |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=N6qSAwAAQBAJ&q=papin+Soccer+around+the+world:+a+cultural+guide+to+the+World%27s+favourite+sport |publisher=ABC-CLIO |page=112 |isbn=9781610693035}}</ref>

=== Brugge ===
Papin had a very successful season at Club Brugge, scoring 32 goals in 43 games. Although he only played one season for Club Brugge, he was elected as its greatest ever foreign player by the supporters in 2008.<ref name="uefa">
{{cite web|url=https://fr.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/newsid=2219383.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190727074446/https://fr.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/newsid%3D2219383.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=27 July 2019|first=Berend|last=Scholten|publisher=UEFA|website=[[UEFA]]|title=Ten claims to fame|date=11 March 2015}}</ref>

=== Marseille ===
During Papin's hugely successful spell at Marseille, with the Frenchman as striker and skipper Marseille won four French league championships in a row (1989–1992), a league and cup double in 1989 and reached the final of the [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] in [[1991 European Cup Final|1991]], losing to [[Red Star Belgrade]] on penalties.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/match/4373--crvena-zvezda-vs-marseille/|title=Crvena zvezda-Marseille|website=[[UEFA]]|publisher=UEFA|access-date=28 September 2022}}</ref>

During this period, Papin scored 181 goals in 279 games<ref name="independent">{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-papin-announces-end-to-glittering-career-1185730.html|title=Football: Papin announces end to glittering career|work=The Independent|date=18 November 1998|access-date=27 July 2019|archive-date=27 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190727064929/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-papin-announces-end-to-glittering-career-1185730.html|url-status=live}}</ref> and was the league's top scorer for five consecutive seasons (from 1988 to 1992). While at Marseille he won the [[Ballon d'Or]], awarded to Europe's top footballer, in 1991.<ref>{{cite book |date=2014 |title=Greatest Ever Footballers |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8pWWBAAAQBAJ&q=papin+club-brugge+marseille |publisher=Hachette UK |page=2006 |isbn=9781472227058}}</ref>

=== AC Milan ===
In July 1992, Papin joined Italian giants AC Milan for a [[World football transfer record|world record fee]] of £10 million,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jean-Pierre Papin, football's first £10 million pound player.|url=https://thesporting.blog/blog/jean-pierre-papin-footballs-first-10-million-pound-player|date=26 January 2021|access-date=6 November 2021|website=The Sporting Blog|language=en-GB}}</ref> and was the first high-profile French player to join [[Serie A|the Italian league]] since [[Michel Platini]]. However, he never established himself as a regular first team member with the ''rossoneri'' due to injuries and adaptation problems. As a foreign player in the [[Bosman ruling|Pre-Bosman rule era]], Papin also suffered from the three-foreigner rule that made him compete for playing time with other foreign players.{{clarify|date=February 2024}}{{citation needed|date=February 2024}}

He entered as a substitute during the [[1993 UEFA Champions League Final|1993 Champions League final]] in which Milan lost to his former club, Marseille. He won the Champions League in [[1994 UEFA Champions League Final|the next year]], but did not play in the final.<ref name="independent"/> Nevertheless, Papin has kept good memories of his spell in Italy and frequently cites former Milan managers [[Fabio Capello]]<ref name="FIFA">

=== Bayern Munich ===
In 1994, he was transferred to Bayern Munich for £2.1 million,<ref name="independent94">{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-papin-joins-bayern-1370040.html|first=Henry|last=Winter|title=Football: Papin joins Bayern|work=The Independent|date=14 April 1994|access-date=27 July 2019|archive-date=27 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190727074443/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-papin-joins-bayern-1370040.html|url-status=live}}</ref> but his first season was once again plagued by injuries. In his second season in Germany he was part of the side that [[1996 UEFA Cup Final|won]] the [[UEFA Cup]] against Bordeaux, a club that Papin would join the following season.{{citation needed|date=January 2021}} He was twice linked with clubs in England later in his playing career. First, in March 1994, he was a transfer target for [[Premier League]] side [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]].<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-peacock-goes-but-francis-stays-mixed-day-at-queens-park-rangers-while-limpar-joins-everton-and-beagrie-hops-to-city-1431375.html?CMP=ILC-refresh | work=The Independent | first=Trevor | last=Haylett | date=25 March 1994 | title=Football: Peacock goes but Francis stays: Mixed day at Queen's Park Rangers while Limpar joins Everton and Beagrie hops to City | access-date=2 November 2012 | archive-date=25 September 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925205329/http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-peacock-goes-but-francis-stays-mixed-day-at-queens-park-rangers-while-limpar-joins-everton-and-beagrie-hops-to-city-1431375.html?CMP=ILC-refresh | url-status=live }}</ref> Towards the end of his spell with Bordeaux in 1998, he was a target for ambitious [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]], then a [[Football League Second Division|Division Two]] (third tier) side, and even expressed his desire to sign for the club. However, neither transfer ever happened and Papin finished his career without having spent any time in England.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.thefreelibrary.com/PAPIN%3A+I%27D+LOVE+TO+JOIN+FULHAM.-a060684204 | title = PAPIN: I'D LOVE TO JOIN FULHAM | publisher = thefreelibrary.com | access-date = 2 November 2012}}</ref>

=== Bordeaux ===
With Bordeaux, he lost the [[1997 Coupe de la Ligue Final|1997 Coupe de la Ligue final]] against [[RC Strasbourg Alsace|Strasbourg]] and lost the [[1998 Coupe de la Ligue Final|1998 Coupe de la Ligue final]].

=== Guingamp ===
Papin's professional career ended in 1998 with Second Division side [[EA Guingamp|Guingamp]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rowhan |first=Patrick |date=8 May 2019 |title=How Jean-Pierre Papin became one of the greatest goalscorers in French football history |url=https://thesefootballtimes.co/2019/05/09/how-jean-pierre-papin-became-one-of-the-greatest-goalscorers-in-french-football-history/ |access-date=8 August 2023 |website=These Football Times |language=en-GB}}</ref>

=== Later career ===
Papin finished his career as a player in the amateur club US Cap-Ferret between 2001 and 2004. Then, after five years of managing, he played in another amateur club, AS Facture-Biganos Boïen.<ref>{{cite news |title=Jean-Pierre Papin de retour sur les terrains... de 10e division |url=https://www.lemonde.fr/sport/article/2009/01/05/jean-pierre-papin-de-retour-sur-les-terrains-de-10e-division_1138210_3242.html |access-date=7 March 2019 |work=Le Monde |date=5 January 2009 |language=fr |archive-date=11 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190411155439/https://www.lemonde.fr/sport/article/2009/01/05/jean-pierre-papin-de-retour-sur-les-terrains-de-10e-division_1138210_3242.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

== International career ==
{{BLP sources section |date=February 2024}}
[[File:Papin - France national team (cropped).jpg|thumb|upright|Papin playing for [[France national football team|France]] at the [[1986 FIFA World Cup|1986 World Cup]]]]
Papin was selected for the first time in the French team during the [[Toulon Tournament]] in 1985 in Marseille with the number 14, alongside [[Pascal Baills]], [[Stéphane Paille]], [[Gérald Passi]], [[Franck Sauzée]], [[Vincent Cobos]] and [[Jean-Christophe Thomas]]. The France team won the Toulon Tournament and successively defeated [[Spanish football team|Spain]] ([[Jon Andoni Goikoetxea]]), [[Romania football team|Romania]] ([[Gheorghe Popescu (footballer, born 1967)|Gheorghe Popescu]]), [[Ivory Coast national football team|Ivory Coast]] ([[Joël Tiéhi]]) and [[England football team|England]] ([[Martin Allen]]). Papin finished as the tournament's top scorer and it was during the match against Spain that Papin scored his first official goal at the Stade Vélodrome.

Papin earned his first cap in a friendly match against Northern Ireland in February 1986<ref name="getty">{{cite web|url=https://www.gettyimages.fr/detail/photo-d'actualit%C3%A9/french-soccer-player-jean-pierre-papin-during-his-photo-dactualit%C3%A9/635224241|title=French soccer player Jean-Pierre Papin during his first cap match with the France national team. France vs Northern Ireland (0-0)|publisher=Getty Images|date=26 February 1986}}</ref> and appeared at the [[1986 FIFA World Cup|1986 World Cup]]. He scored twice in four games: first during France opening game against Canada (1–0) and then during France's victory against Belgium (4–2), helping France finish third.<ref name="Dunmore">{{cite book |last=Dunmore |first=Tom |date=2011 |title=Historical Dictionary of Soccer |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9j1wbp2t1usC |publisher=Scarecrow Press |page=187 |isbn=9780810871885}}</ref>

He did not appear at the 1990 World Cup because France failed to qualify, but during the qualifying campaign for [[UEFA Euro 1992]] he finished second top scorer in the Qualifiers of the 1992 European Football Championship with nine goals behind [[Darko Pančev]] and the France team is the only one to win all its playoff matches, a first in Europe and this in a very strong group with two quarter-finalists of the previous World Cup, Spain and Czechoslovakia. Papin who suffers from the aftermath of an ankle injury cannot prevent France from failing in the first round, despite scoring two goals in three games<ref name="Guardian">{{cite web|first1=Jacob |last1=Steinberg |first2=Scott |last2=Murray |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/oct/13/football-england-perfect-10-france-spain-germany-czech-republic|title=England qualify for Euros with 100% record – what happened to the first five who did it?|work=The Guardian|date=13 October 2015}}</ref>

The French football team, trained by [[Gérard Houllier]], played in the 1994 World Cup qualifiers but got off to a bad start (2–0 defeat in Bulgaria), but a series of 6 wins against Austria (twice), Finland (twice), Sweden and Israel put them back at the top of the group and in a very favorable position for qualification with three rounds to go. The French team, undermined by internal quarrels (Marseille-Paris rivalry), however collapsed in the final sprint by conceding a draw in Sweden (1–1 on a defensive error three minutes from the end) and during the two last games played at home, where they only had to beat Israel or not lose against Bulgaria, to score the ticket for the United States. The Blues lost against the weakest team in the group, Israel (2–3 on a goal by Atar 30 seconds from the end of the match), then against Bulgaria (1–2 on a goal by Emil Kostadinov two seconds the end of regulation time), this goal depriving France of participation in the World Cup. The two qualifiers of this group 6, Sweden and Bulgaria, would reach the semi-finals of the World Cup in July 1994.

Papin initially said goodbye to the Blues of which he was the captain after the elimination in qualifying for the 1994 World Cup, before being convinced by [[Aimé Jacquet]] to return. He scored his last goal in selection at Trebizond in Turkey (match relocated because of troubles in Azerbaijan) against Azerbaijan (2–0) at the end of 1994. Papin played his last international match against the Netherlands in January 1995, before injuries and the emergence of the [[Zinédine Zidane]] generation permanently removed him from the selection.

== Style of play ==
Papin has been described as "a fast and lethal striker, who made goal scoring his signature for club and country"<ref name="Witzig">{{cite book |last=Witzig |first=Richard |date=2006 |title=The Global Art of Soccer |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=H2T0ZD5S86QC&q=papin+valenciennes+striker |publisher=CusiBoy Publishing |page=187 |isbn=9780977668809}}</ref> and a player who could score in a variety of situation, "from neat, [[Chip (association football)|chipped]] finishes, low drives into the corner, towering headers and, in particular, thumping volleys."<ref name="goal2017"/>

During his career, the term ''Papinade'' was used to describe powerful volleys from difficult angles.<ref name="FIFA"/>

== Managerial career ==
[[File:Jean-Pierre Papin, 2006.jpg|thumb|upright|Papin as [[Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace|Strasbourg]] manager in 2006]]
In May 2006, Papin took over from [[Jacky Duguépéroux]] as the new coach of [[Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace|Strasbourg]], who were relegated to the [[Ligue 2|Second Division]]. He had previously been coaching [[FC Bassin d'Arcachon|Arcachon]], an amateur team, and helped them to be promoted from CFA 2 to CFA.{{citation needed|date=January 2021}}

In 2006–07, he guided Strasbourg back to [[Ligue 1]] with a third-placed finish but came under pressure shortly after the end of the season when internal conflicts at the club surfaced in the press. Several players, including '05 league cup final hero [[Jean-Christophe Devaux]], also openly criticized Papin's methods.{{citation needed|date=January 2021}}

Initially confirmed as manager for the 2007–08 season, he was forced to resign a week later after it was revealed that he had interviewed for the vacant managerial job at [[RC Lens|Lens]] only hours after his confirmation at Strasbourg. He was replaced by [[Jean-Marc Furlan]], former manager of [[ES Troyes AC|Troyes]], while Lens selected [[Guy Roux]] as their new manager. Ironically, Papin eventually became the manager of Lens after the club lost at Strasbourg,<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/FootballFicheMatch13504_100572.html | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20081207152514/http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/FootballFicheMatch13504_100572.html | url-status = dead | archive-date = 7 December 2008 | title = Strasbourg 2-1 Lens | language = fr | publisher = lequipe.fr | date = 25 August 2007 | access-date = 2 November 2012}}</ref> as Roux resigned only five games into the 2007–08 season. In the midst of the season, Lens and Papin were fighting to avoid relegation to the Second Division. Lens was also eliminated in the first round of both the [[UEFA cup]] and the ''[[Coupe de France]]'' by, respectively, [[FC Copenhagen]] (1–1; 1–2) and Second Division side [[Chamois Niortais]] (0–1, at home).{{citation needed|date=January 2021}}

On 29 December 2009, [[LB Châteauroux|Châteauroux]] hired the coach<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/breves2009/20091229_174138_papin-nomme-entraineur.html |title=Papin nommé entraîneur |publisher=Lequipe.fr |date=29 December 2009 |access-date=28 April 2011 |language=fr |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100611133014/http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/breves2009/20091229_174138_papin-nomme-entraineur.html |archive-date=11 June 2010}}</ref> to replace [[Dominique Bijotat]].

For the 2014–15 season, Papin once again took the managerial position at FC Bassin d'Archachon in [[Championnat de France Amateur 2]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.sudouest.fr/2014/08/23/papin-retrouve-ses-racines-1649256-766.php|title=Entraîneur à Arcachon, Jean-Pierre Papin retrouve ses racines|publisher=Sud Ouest|language=fr|date=23 August 2014|last1=Leshauriès|first1=Yoan}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fcbarcachon.com/historique|title=Historique|publisher=FC Bassin d'Arcachon Official Site|language=fr|access-date=15 July 2019|archive-date=15 July 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190715094618/https://www.fcbarcachon.com/historique|url-status=dead}}</ref>

On 2 June 2020, Papin was announced as the new manager of [[Championnat National 2]] side [[C'Chartres Football|C'Chartres]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.footamateur.fr/national-2-jean-pierre-papin-nouvel-entraineur-de-cchartres/|title=National 2.

Papin was also iconic in French pop culture because of his caricature in the satirical TV puppet show ''[[Les Guignols de l'Info]]''. At first, Papin was depicted as a rather dumb football player (a common stereotype in France), his only obsession being the many different ways to score goals. When Papin experienced difficulties in Italy, the coverage became more sympathetic, especially with the infamous ''Reviens JPP!''<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xblcjl_le-sketch-des-guignols-reviens-jpp_news | title = Le sketch des Guignols 'Reviens, JPP, reviens !' | language = fr | publisher = dailymotion.com | date = 22 December 2009 | access-date = 2 November 2012}}</ref> song where even God Himself would urge Papin to come back to his home country, because "France needs you!".{{citation needed|date=January 2021}}

After his daughter, Emily, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as an infant, Papin started running the Neuf de cœur (Nine of Hearts) foundation, which provides support to families affected by the neurological disorder.<ref name="goal2017"/>

Since 2011, he has participated in the Amélie evenings, organized by [[Amélie Mauresmo]] for the benefit of the Institut Curie on the theme play with the artists which happens at each opening of the Open GDF Suez at the Stade Pierre de Coubertin in Paris.

Since 2013, he has been with [[Youri Djorkaeff]], [[Sylvain Wiltord]] and [[Valdo Filho]], one of the ambassadors of [[Footgolf]].<ref>[https://www.footgolf-france. fr/AFFG ambassadors: Ambassadors](footgolf-france.fr)</ref>
