Olympique Marseille declared the end of Italian coach Gennaro Gattuso's tenure on Tuesday, following a series of six winless matches in Ligue 1. Gattuso, a former World Cup winner, spent a relatively short five months at the club before the announcement of his departure.
The decision marks a shift in leadership, with Jean-Louis Gasset anticipated to step into the role, the Frenchman having recently been dismissed as the coach of Ivory Coast during this year's Africa Cup of Nations.
The decision to part ways with Gattuso comes in the wake of Marseille's disappointing performance, characterized by a lack of victories in their recent Ligue 1 matches.
The club made the announcement through a concise statement, officially concluding their collaboration with the renowned Italian coach. The departure opens the door for Jean-Louis Gasset to potentially take charge and guide Marseille through the remainder of the season.
Jean-Louis Gasset, the likely successor to Gattuso, brings his coaching experience to the Marseille team, having previously served as the coach of Ivory Coast. His tenure with the national team was cut short during the Africa Cup of Nations this year.
As Marseille seeks a change in fortunes, Gasset is expected to assume the managerial responsibilities, aiming to revitalize the team's performance and restore a winning trajectory in Ligue 1.
