While Olympique de Marseille lost in Brest on Sunday, at the end of the 22nd day of Ligue 1, the future of Gennaro Gattuso is the talk of the town.
Gennaro Gattuso appeared dejected on Sunday after the new poor performance of his troops. Traveling to Brest, Olympique de Marseille lost 1-0 despite a good part of the second period being played in numerical superiority after the exclusion of Steve Mounie. But once again, OM failed to take advantage and the Ciel et Blanc were left with a seventh match in a row without a victory, the sixth in Ligue 1.
Marked by this new setback, the Marseille coach wanted “ ask forgiveness from the supporters, ask forgiveness from this jersey “. “ What we produced is unacceptable. I am primarily responsible and I apologize to our supporters. I think it’s the only thing to do because it’s unacceptable.” he insisted, adding: “I think we’ve hit rock bottom. We are in a whirlwind, a vicious circle. »
His departure is demanded by supporters
After such a dark series, the question of the future of the former midfielder of the Italian team, who arrived at the beginning of the fall to replace Marcelino, inevitably arises. At the end of the meeting, Pablo Longoria, the president of OM, and Medhi Benatia, his sporting director, spoke at length, with the Spanish leader making numerous back and forth calls on the telephone, according to RMC.
Can Marseille leaders part ways with their coach barely five months after his arrival? For many Marseille supporters, the question is quickly seen and the former Milan player must leave the club. “What is Gattuso still doing here?” », “Gattuso must go”, “Gattuso resigns”, “You could say something else my friend, I’ll help you: “I’m resigning””, “It’s no longer possible, he must be fired”… : these are some of the many messages published on Twitter calling for his departure.
