After the defeat on the Brest pitch (0-1), OM made the decision to part ways with Gennaro Gattuso, barely five months after his appointment to the Marseille bench. To replace him, Jean-Louis Gasset was chosen. Quite a surprise as Daniel Riolo notes.
The defeat in Brest will have been too many for Gennaro Gattusodismissed from his position as coach of theOM. To replace him, Pablo Longoria had quite a surprise in store since it was Jean-Louis Gasset who was chosen. Daniel Riolo admits he didn’t expect it.
Gasset, “it’s a huge surprise”
“ We had to find a firefighter and there, the name of Jean-Louis Gasset came up. It’s a huge surprise. It’s such a surprise that we don’t even know what to think about it. French coach and who was going to accept a three-month mission just to boost the team and we will say to reposition it in the ranking because I don’t even know if OM aims to get a place in the European Cup. Certainly, deep down, that’s what we hope for, but it’s still going to be complicated », says the journalist from RMC at the microphone of theAfter Footbefore adding a layer.
“It’s so big that I can’t even get an opinion.”
“ And there, we were going through the names, we were checking off since this morning and Jean-Louis Gasset, it’s grandpa who is coming for a mission. He’s coming out of a CAN, it was terrible, where he was fired precisely because the group, mentally, was not coping with the demands. And there he comes to supposedly boost OM. In fact, I repeat, it’s so big that I can’t even get an opinion. I can’t even say that it’s going to be horrible, that he’s not going to make it. I tell myself that in any case, it will require the players to become more aware so that the season ends better, namely whether Jean-Louis Gasset can do it or not. His latest experiences aren’t great. He had already worked as a firefighter in Saint Étienne. Ugh. Adventure Ivory Coast, flop and at OM the two grandpas, Ghislain Printant, Dupont and Dupont. We know that Pablo Longoria never wanted to make a Frenchman so obviously that smacks of the default choice », adds Daniel Riolo.
