Since his arrival on the OM sidelines, Gennaro Gattuso’s record doesn’t really make you dream.
After 20 days of Ligue 1, Olympique de Marseille has only 29 points in Ligue 1. We have to go back to the 2015-2016 financial year, when the Marseille club was coached by the Spaniard Michel, to find any trace of such a low total.
Gennaro Gattuso disappoints many OM followers. Among these, Christophe Dugarry. “The problem is that he had such a strong image as a player, you inevitably draw a parallel with the coach, how he will be… You can only be disappointed because you expected something else on the sidelines. You expected to see a Diego Simeone”declared the sports consultant, Monday evening, on the airwaves of RMC.
A real discrepancy
There seems to be a gap between the reputation that the Italian enjoyed before his arrival on the Olympian bench and his behavior there. “I don’t find him too bad in his communication but he had such a strong image, he is so well known… With such a coach and such a squad, you can only be disappointed”concludes the 1998 world champion.
OM are now stuck in eighth place in the league, seven points from the podium. On Friday, the Marseille club will try to give themselves a little breathing room by welcoming FC Metz for the 21st day of Ligue 1.
