Free from any contract since his hasty departure from the Espoirs bench, Thierry Henry could receive a call in the coming hours.
The ax did not take long to fall. As soon as the match against Marseille ends, Sunday, at the end of the 8e day of Ligue 1, Laurent Nicollin indeed announced the departure of Michel Der Zakarian. Consequence of the slap received at home against Olympique de Marseille (5-0), the MHSC remaining stuck in last place in the ranking with four measly points in eight days.
“In football, you can’t change 25 players, so I took the initiative to stop Michel this evening. I saw him, we talked, we talked in the locker room at the end of the match and I told him that it was over for him tonight, indicated the Montpellier president. I went to see the players to tell them that because of their hard work, they had blown up a coach. »
Laurent Nicollin is obviously working to succeed Michel Der Zakarian and for many, Jean-Louis Gasset, a year after playing firefighter on duty at OM, is best placed to sit on the Hérault bench. But for Jérôme Rothen, the leaders of the MHSC would be well advised to explore other avenues.
“Why don’t you try it?” »
“There are coaches who are not in Montpellier and who have failed. That doesn’t mean the next one is going to fail. There are profiles. Gourvennec, there have been failures, but he is there and he is a former Montpellier. Then you have Habib Beye who told everyone that he wants to coach in Ligue 1. Maybe this is the opportunity to give him a Ligue 1 club,” he confided on RMC.
And Montpellier could even think bigger. “I’m not saying he’s going to say yes, but why don’t you give Thierry Henry a call? By telling him: listen Thierry, you are looking for a bench, you would be in Ligue 1 in Montpellier, which is not just any club. Why don’t you try it?
he questioned, pointing to my choices of Laurent Nicollin:
“No, it’s easier to make their sauce in-house. By making this sauce, I think President Nicollin is completely wrong. We feel him elsewhere and less passionate than his dad. In his speech, he always talks to us about business, but if you fall to Ligue 2, business will also fall. »
