Former OM goalkeeper, Pascal Olmeta has announced his departure from the Olympian club at the end of the season.
Appointed for four months as OM coach in place of Gennaro Gattuso at the end of last February, Jean-Louis Gasset is not expected to continue his adventure in the Marseille city at the end of his contract. The Marseille leaders have decided not to keep him beyond the current season, according to Pasacl Olmeta, who thus puts an end to rumors of a possible extension for the 70-year-old technician.
“He stops at the end of the season, he can’t see further. But they are very proud of their journey so far in the European Cup”launched the former goalkeeper of OM and the French team on the airwaves of RMC Sport this Tuesday.
Who will replace him ?
If the former Ivory Coast coach made a sensational debut on the Olympian bench, the results in the championship have not lived up to the club’s ambitions for several weeks. However, Gasset made it through three rounds in the Europa League, taking out Shakhtar Donetsk, Villarreal and Benfica, hoisting the Sky and Whites into the semi-finals of the competition.
” My future ? I don’t think about tomorrowindicated Gasset on the sidelines of facing Benfica. I told my mother: “I’ll be here in a month.” She’s waiting for me. What if I thought about staying? No, I wanted to know, vibrate, feel OM. And maybe it will be even stronger than what I’ve known. There is room for it to be even stronger, I want it. » It now remains to be seen who Pablo Longoria and his teams will choose to succeed him next season. The names of Paulo Fonseca and Christophe Galtier are circulating in particular.
