Ligue 1: OM formalizes the departure of Gattuso... with a three-line press release

It was expected and it’s now official. Gennaro Gattuso is no longer the coach of Olympique de Marseille. Announced on Monday, the departure of the Italian technician was made official by the Marseille club on Tuesday. “Olympique de Marseille would like to particularly thank Gennaro and all of his staff for the flawless investment and the great professionalism they have shown on a daily basis and wish them good luck for the future,” announces the press release. , which does not mention the arrival of Jean-Louis Gasset. Three lines, not one more. Minimalist communication, like the 2006 world champion's lightning visit to the Canebière.

Arriving last September, he is paying for the lack of results, only one victory in 2024 (against Thionville, a National 3 club in the Coupe de France) and his lack of control over a squad which includes overrated players and those lacking confidence. The defeat in Brest on Sunday (1-0), while OM had numerical superiority, will have precipitated their fall. 9th in Ligue 1, 10 points behind the Brest club, 2nd, Marseille is experiencing a cataclysmic season.

Jean-Louis Gasset, former Ivory Coast coach, 70, dismissed after a catastrophic first round at the head of the Elephants - who won the CAN - will arrive as a firefighter on duty until the end of the season. This choice may raise questions but its mission is clear and will not extend beyond the end of the season. After Marcelinho, Abardonado, Gattuso, Gasset will be the 4th OM coach this season. From Thursday, he will be expected to host Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League play-offs (2-2 in the first leg). A much-awaited baptism of fire for a club in distress at all levels.
