In the return match with Shakhtar Olympic, another coach will lead
Olympic Marseille officially announced his separation from the head coach Gennaro Gattuso.
It became known the day before that the Italian coach would leave his post. According to authoritative journalist Fabrizio Romano, his successor will be an experienced Frenchman Jean-Louis Gassetwho previously worked with the Ivory Coast national team and was fired during CAN 2024.
Let us remind you that the Provençal club won only one match in 2024, and now the Provençal team continues a series of seven matches in a row without victories in all tournaments. The last straw was the defeat from Brest in the 22nd round of League 1 (0:1). In total, under Gattuso, Olympic played 24 matches, achieving nine victories and seven defeats.
Marseille, with 30 points from 22 matches, is in ninth place in the French Championship.
In addition, the French club is Shakhtar Donetsk’s opponent in the Europa League playoffs. In the first match of the play-off round, the teams tied with a score of 2:2. The return match will take place in France on February 22. It starts at 22:00, the match will be officiated by a German brigade led by Tobias Stieler.
