This Saturday evening, Montpellier experienced one of the greatest humiliations in the history of the Coupe de France for an elite club.

Already in great difficulty in Ligue 1,
championship of which he is currently red lanternthe MHSC will no longer be able to count on the Coupe de France to save its season. This Saturday evening, the Paillade club was destroyed (0-4) by the fans of Puy (N2).

Jean-Louis Gasset’s men conceded their first goal shortly before half-time, before completely sinking in the last quarter of an hour of regulation time. “I feel a sense of shame, reacted the 71-year-old technician after the meeting. It’s a competition that could give us a little oxygen, we’re going to analyze it carefully because we were swept away. We lost all the duels, missed the first two opportunities which could have changed the match. But mentally, it’s very worrying”

Will Gasset make it through the year?

And the former Olympique de Marseille coach, disillusioned, continued: “Since I arrived, we have not scored a goal, nor taken a point away. I hoped that in another competition we could show more mental qualities. There, we gave up.”

Called to the rescue last Octoberwhile he was retired, Jean-Louis Gasset must today certainly regret having returned to service. On January 4, Montpellier will travel to Groupama Stadium to face Olympique Lyonnais on the 16th day of Ligue 1. Will the man with the cap be on the Hérault bench that evening? ?
