If Jean-Louis Gasset has been inducted into his role as OM coach, rumors are rife as to the identity of his successor.

It’s a particularly hectic start to the week that Olympique de Marseille lived behind the scenes. After a worrying defeat on the Brest lawn on Sunday evening (0-1), the Marseille club threw its crisis by remodeling its organizational chart.

Gennaro Gattuso was dismissed from his position to make way for Jean-Louis Gasset. The former assistant to Laurent Blanc, who remains on a delicate experience on the Ivory Coast bench during the African Cup of Nations, arrives in Marseille for a three-month mission. The experienced technician should therefore not spend too long on the Canebière.

“He is one of those who have all the qualities to succeed at OM”

This is what Eric Di Meco confirmed when commenting on this soap opera on BFM Marseille. Club legend, the consultant made no secret of being seduced by the profile of his friend Christophe Galtier. Above all, the former defender specifies that if Galtier was unable to free himself in the short term, the former PSG coach is ready.

I am one of those who think that the arrival of Jean-Louis Gasset could be the figurehead of the future OM project next year, said Eric Di Meco. He could work for a new coach and be at his side. We’re talking about Christophe Galtier, it’s no secret that OM has been interested in him several times. He wants to coach OM one day. He is one of those who have all the qualities to succeed at OM“, concluded the former French international.
