Laurent Nicollin would have preferred that Jean-Louis Gasset be appointed a little later as OM coach.
Saturday evening, at 8:45 p.m., Olympique de Marseille will welcome Montpellier to the Stade Vélodrome, on the occasion of the 23rd day of Ligue 1. A club that Jean-Louis Gasset knows well, having been a player there between 1975 and 1985 then coach twice (1998-1999 season and during 2017).
For his first Ligue 1 match as OM coach, the 70-year-old technician will therefore cross paths with old acquaintances. “They changed coaches, they took a very good coach who we know very well, confided Hérault president Laurent Nicollin to Prime Video. They could have waited a week, that’s a bit annoying. It’s always the same, changes of coaches always fall on us. »
Change of tactical plan?
“It annoys me, I don’t like playing against people we like and who know us by heart because they come to see us every match at La Mosson. (…) I wish them a lot of happiness, finally from Sunday at midnight”continues the 51-year-old leader.
For this match against the Héraultais, Jean-Louis Gasset could already change his tactical system. Last Thursday, in the Europa League, he opted for a return to 3-5-2 for his first match. According to Provencehe could modify this plan due to the absences he will have to face, in particular Jonathan Clauss, who will be suspended.
