The arrival of Jean-Louis Gasset on the bench of Olympique de Marseille represents “a choice by default” for Daniel Riolo, who underlines the absence of ambition and the limits of this appointment.
The parade of coaches continues at the Olympique de Marseille. After Marcelino, Jacques Abardonado and Gennaro Gattuso, it is the turn of Jean-Louis Gasset to try to redress the situation in this period of crisis.
Daniel Riolo, journalist at RMC, deciphers this choice. “What we knew very quickly was that it was going to be a French coach and a temporary one because obviously, they are already in the process of rebuilding for next year. A French coach who was going to accept a three-month mission just to boost the team and we will say to reposition it in the ranking because I don’t even know if OM aims to get a place in the European Cup . Certainly, deep down, that’s what we hope for, but it’s still going to be complicated,” he judged.
“It smacks of choice by default”
Gasset’s profile intrigues the editorialist. “Jean-Louis Gasset, it’s grandpa who comes for a mission,” said Riolo. He’s coming out of a CAN, it was terrible, where he was fired precisely because the group, mentally, was not coping with the demands. And there he comes to supposedly boost OM. »
And added: “It’s so big that I can’t even get an opinion. I can’t even say that it’s going to be horrible, that he’s not going to make it. I tell myself that in any case, it will involve raising awareness among the players so that the season ends better, knowing whether Jean-Louis Gasset can do it or not. His latest experiences aren’t great. He had already worked as a firefighter in Saint-Étienne. Ugh. Adventure Ivory Coast, flop and at OM the two grandpas, Ghislain Printant, Dupont and Dupont. We know that Pablo Longoria never wanted to make a Frenchman, so obviously that smacks of the default choice. »
