The defeat conceded by Olympique de Marseille in Brest on Sunday was too much for Gennaro Gattuso, dismissed by his leaders.
Olympique de Marseille can no longer do it. Three days after the disappointment born from the draw conceded to the wire against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League, the Olympian club was left with another disappointment in Ligue 1 on Sunday. Traveling to Brest at the end of the 22e day, OM lost 1-0, conceding a seventh match in a row without a victory and the sixth in Ligue 1…
Questioned after the meeting, Gennaro Gattuso admitted the blow. “ I think there is little to say this evening. We just have to take our responsibilities, accept this situation, ask forgiveness from the supporters, ask forgiveness from this jersey, he said in comments reported by RMC. What we produced is unacceptable. I am primarily responsible and I apologize to our supporters. I believe this is the only thing to do because it is unacceptable. »
Five months and then gone…
“ But you know, in football, you have to have a soul, and that’s precisely what we’re missing right now, he continued. Without a soul, everything is more difficult. I think we’ve hit rock bottom. We are in a whirlwind, a vicious circle. I believe that we must focus on making as many points as possible to regain some peace of mind, because the situation is difficult at the moment. »
But the Italian technician will not have the opportunity to redress the situation. According to La Provence, the former midfielder, who was thinking of giving up, feeling helpless, was in fact laid off this Monday the day after the new defeat conceded by the Olympians. Gennaro Gattuso’s stint was very brief since he only stayed five months on the Marseille bench with, in 24 matches managed, only nine victories for eight draws and seven defeats.
