Jean-Marc Guillou is one of the pioneers of football training in Africa. In 1994, he created his first academy in Ivory Coast, Mimosifcom, around a method.

The Touré brothers, Kolo and Yaya, Ramy Bensebaini, Youcef Atal and even Yves Bissouma and Hamari Traoré have all come through his academies. At 78 years old, the former French international still overflows with energy and passion.
