The magic of football still works.
More than ever in certain situations.
How can we not agree when saluting the success of Jean-Louis Gasset at the head of OM.
On January 22, coach of Ivory Coast, he resigned after the fiasco against Guinea (0-4) and the Elephants, close to elimination in their African Cup of Nations.
Thursday evening, he appears against Villarreal (6:45 p.m., W9, Canal+ Foot) to validate the qualification of the Marseille club in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, with a comfortable advantage after the recital at the Vélodrome (4-0 ) a week earlier.
In the meantime, the Ivorians became African champions, without him, on February 11, and OM gave him the keys to the truck on the 20th to put out the fire after the departure of Gennaro Gattuso, who left La Canebière in on the sly, but above all empty and without solution.
Since then, the metamorphosis has been complete.
