Overview

Guillou had established Académie de Sol Beni in Abidjan in 1994 via a partnership with ASEC Mimosas. JMG Academy was established in 2002 following a disagreement between Guillou and ASEC over control of the Academy. [1]

The success of the academy in Abidjan saw JMG expand into other parts of the world. [2]
