Angered by Om, Papin suffers in silence

After the departure of Gennaro Gattuso, Jean-Pierre Pepin will choose to take over until the end of the season. But Olympique de Marseille chose to entrust the mission to Jean-Louis Gasset. A decision that Olympian reserve coaches refuse to contest publicly.

Between Jean-Louis Gasset and Olympique de Marseille, the story should not last more than a few months. The former Ivory Coast coach, sacked after the CAN group stage, is only committed until the end of the season. His mission therefore includes ensuring a smooth interim period while awaiting the appointment of a new coach this summer. To achieve this short-term objective, the Marseille club would have turned to an internal solution.

“ The arrival of Jean-Louis may have given the team some confidence. The public pushed us incredibly hard yesterday. I think this will also be an important parameter. Playing this first match against Villarreal in front of 65,000 people will push us, when we are able to play the kind of match we played yesterday, I think we can do the same thing again.
