OM: Gattuso, the stat of shame

In 15 games this season, Gennaro Gattuso had to settle for 21 points. A rickety record.

Reduced to ten early in the match, OM had to concede a draw on Friday against Metz (1-1), at the Vélodrome, at the opening of the 21st day of Ligue 1. If his team remains on a worrying streak, Gennaro Gattuso wants continue to believe in a possible qualification in C1. However, its figures are far from good… And its figures are worrying.

Indeed, Gennaro Gattuso’s record in 15 Ligue 1 matches is the worst for an OM coach (having reached this threshold of matches played) since José Anigo in 2014, while some sources are speaking out to demand a departure from the Italian tactician.

An unsatisfactory assessment

Thus, in 15 outings, Gennaro Gattuso had to be content with 21 units gleaned and not one more. Despite a series of 4 consecutive victories, his team has conceded a total of 6 draws and 4 defeats in the league since September (the Italian’s first match resulted in a 3-2 loss on the AS Monaco pitch in the part of the 7th day).

“We can talk about a mini-crisis. We haven’t won for five games and it may seem utopian to talk about this fourth place. But if I don’t believe in this goal, I’m going home.”explained the transalpine coach to the press on Friday evening.
