This is the new fashionable debate on the Canebière. Should Olympique de Marseille keep Jean-Louis Gasset at the end of his contract at the end of the season? Coming to try to turn things around after the disastrous mandate of Gennaro Gattuso, the 70-year-old coach has so far succeeded beyond expectations, with 5 victories in 5 matches. Mocked by some of the supporters because of his age, Gasset used his experience to restore confidence to a squad that was greatly lacking in it.
And inevitably, after such a start, its future is the subject of debate, with often contrary opinions. Yesterday for example, on the air of RMC, Christophe Dugarry leaned more towards the end of the Gasset adventure, while mentioning the Galtier possibility. Others are campaigning for Gasset to remain in office. What about OM? According to information from The Teamthe decision has already been made, in agreement with the French coach.
No turnaround
Called to the rescue with a 100-day contract, Gasset accepted the commando mission without the slightest guarantee of a possible common future. And he would not be eager to continue the adventure, regardless of the outcome of the current season. Likewise, OM does not plan to discuss a contract extension, and is instead looking for a new coach capable of starting a new cycle.
In addition, it is precisely the commando side instilled by Gasset and his staff which is put forward to motivate the players and get the most out of them. Without the hope of extending his contract, Gasset has only one idea in mind, to leave OM as high as possible in the ranking to allow management to begin a new project with the most attractive context possible. So that his successor is placed in the best possible sporting conditions.
