Jean-Louis Gasset is expected in Marseille to take over from Gennaro Gattuso. The former assistant to Luis Fernandez (PSG) and Laurent Blanc (Bordeaux, France, PSG) is 70 years old.

He is the oldest coach in Ligue 1 behind László Bölöni (70 years old) and Pascal Der Der Zakarian (61 years old). He resigned in the wake of a crushing defeat against Equatorial Guinea (0-4) in the CAN.
