After OM’s victory over Shakhtar Donetsk (3-1), Thursday evening in the Europa League play-offs, Pierre Ménès demolished Jean-Louis Gasset’s detractors.
A successful baptism of fire for Jean-Louis Gasset. For his first match on the bench of Olympique de Marseille Thursday evening, i.e. forty-eight hours only after his appointment and the departure of Gennaro Gattuso, the former Ivory Coast coach saw his team get the better of Shakhtar Donetsk (3-1) in the Europa League play-offs.
A dream debut for Jean-Louis Gasset, who has not been spared from criticism since his arrival on Canebière. Beyond his last experience on the Ivory Coast bench which ended badly, his advanced age – 71 years – was singled out by certain observers.
“I wish him to shut all these mouths”
Fortunately, the former assistant coach of Laurent Blanc also has admirers, like Pierre Ménès. Delighted with OM’s victory over Shakhtar, the 60-year-old journalist did not hesitate to send a big tackle to Jean-Louis Gasset’s detractors.
“Very happy for Jean-Louis Gasset who is a great guy and who was shamefully attacked because of his age”wrote the former star consultant of Canal+ on X (formerly Twitter), and added: “How can we dare say that a guy is done at 70? I wish him to shut all these mouths. » The message got through.
