If Montpellier bet on Jean-Louis Gasset to try to save its place in Ligue 1, the Hérault club could have opted for another known technician.
Family club in an ever more competitive landscape,
Montpellier don’t change your habits. The Hérault club continues to stand out in the elite. After thanking Michel Der Zakarian following the big setback against Olympique de Marseille on Sunday (0-5), Laurent Nicollin called on an old acquaintance of the house: Jean-Louis Gasset.
Former historic assistant to Laurent Blanc at Paris Saint-Germain, Bordeaux or the French team, the seasoned technician has also accumulated experience in a number 1 role, at Saint-Etienne or at Olympique de Marseille in particular, or at orders from Ivory Coast.
Courbis would have accepted
Behind the scenes in Montpellier, the choice of Jean-Louis Gasset quickly appeared obvious, so much so that the suspense did not last very long. Gasset’s return was recorded the day after Der Zakarian’s dismissal.
However, another option was possible for the MHSC: recall Rolland Courbis. Another former coach of the club, the current consultant of RMC and La Chaîne L’Equipe declared that he “ would have accepted » to take up the challenge if we “ made a phone call“. It won’t happen.
