Arriving at the head of Olympique de Marseille on February 20 to replace Gennaro Gattuso, Jean-Louis Gasset is not expected to extend his contract beyond June 30, 2024.

According to L’Equipe, the French coach and the Marseille club are not expected to continue their collaboration next season.

The ideal candidate

Gasset’s main objective remains to place OM as high as possible in the rankings and, if possible, to qualify for the European Cup.
