Jean-Louis Gasset has been unwell since August and an elimination against Panathinaikos during the 3rd preliminary round of the Champions League. Several specialists followed one another at his bedside - Marcelino, Jacques Abardonado and Gennaro Gattuso - without finding the miracle cure.
It is not a question here of ensuring survival - OM has a comfortable cushion in the relegation zone - but of getting a sick team back on its feet. After two successful survival missions in Montpellier (2017) then Saint-Étienne (2017-2019), Jean -Louis GASSet, 70 years old, begins his third operation in a French club.
