Gattuso at OM, things go wrong!

The debut on the OM bench of Gennaro Gattuso, in post since the end of September, is clearly insufficient from an accounting point of view.

Since his arrival in Marseille at the end of September, Gennaro Gattuso has benefited from a certain leniency. From the supporters, who could no longer stand the too academic 4-4-2 of his predecessor Marcelino, and from the observers, who quickly noticed progress in the game and in desire. But after a month on the Olympian bench, the time for the first assessment has come for the Italian coach, and it is clear that it is not positive from an accounting point of view.

In four Ligue 1 matches, the former midfielder has only picked up 4 small points (1 victory against a team from Le Havre reduced to ten, 2 defeats to Monaco and Nice, 1 draw against Lille). This is insufficient to allow OM, ninth, 10 points from the podium, to get back into the race for Europe. According to the account @Statsdufoot on

“We knew that after a month it was impossible for everything to be perfectreacted Gennaro Gattuso, after the sad draw conceded against Lille (0-0), Saturday evening at the Vélodrome. I have great confidence in my team. We must find continuity in the results and we still have a lot of room for improvement. » He is not the only one responsible, but this start to the financial year is the worst for Ciel et Blanc since 2016-2017. That year, OM finished fifth. Such a ranking would be a failure.
