Gennaro Gattuso’s successor has already been found. Thanked this Monday morning after another defeat in the championship on the Brest lawn this Sunday evening (1-0), the Italian technician will be replaced by Jean-Louis Gasset, former coach of the Ivory Coast. Formerly of the Marseille club, Sabri Lamouchi was also one of the candidates.
Beaten by Brest this Sunday, Gennaro Gattuso used up his last cartridge. Without a solution, the Italian technician was told the end of his adventure this Monday morning. Gattuso emptied his locker and said goodbye to the Marseille group, sad, but aware that a change was necessary on the bench.
Gasset will replace Gattuso
As announced by The Team, Jean-Louis Gassetwho left the Ivorian selection in full African Cup of Nations, would have agreed to act as interim until the end of the season. Along with Ghislain Printant, he should be on the bench Thursday during the play-off Europa League facing Shakhtyor Donetsk.
Lamouchi was one of the avenues considered
According to The TeamL’OM had considered giving the coaching position to another candidate: Sabri Lamouchi. The former coach of Rennes had the advantage of having already worn the Marseille jersey during the 2005-2006 season. Finally, the choice fell on Gasset, who has the heavy task of bringing up theOM in the ranking.
