Under fire from criticism following OM’s poor results, Gennaro Gattuso spoke this week with its president Pablo Longoria.

Thursday evening, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and his partners were once again hooked against Shakhtar Donetsk (2-2), in the first leg of the Europa League play-offs, after having led twice. A draw which further weakened Gennaro Gattuso’s position.

Longoria comforts Gattuso

According to information from Provence, Gennaro Gattuso spoke with Pablo Longoria after the draw conceded against Shakhtar and was reinforced in his functions. Its short-term future is therefore not threatened, even in the event of a defeat this Sunday evening against Brest, at the end of the 22nd day of Ligue 1, adds the regional media.

After the draw in the C3 play-offs, the Italian coach nevertheless made an admission of helplessness. “I have the impression that we are scared, I don’t know how to resolve this mental problem,” he declared in a post-match press conference. I don’t have the key, because I am neither a psychologist nor a mental trainer. »
