Olympique de Marseille part ways with the Italian coach after five months on the bench.
È Finito. Only five months after his arrival, Gennaro Gattuso is leaving Olympique de Marseille, France 3 Provence-Alpes learned from the club on Monday February 19. This is a separation “by mutual agreement”. The contract will be terminated amicably very soon.
A crisis that has lasted for five months
The former AC Milan legend set down his bags at the end of September in Marseille, in the midst of a crisis between supporters and management. The situation has not really improved since. Gennaro Gattuso, renowned for his ability to “face the storms”, could not prevent OM from stringing together poor results and being confronted with the vindictiveness of their supporters. Undermined by the incidents of violence which punctuated the pre-match between OM and OL, the club which has just suffered a setback on Sunday at Brest (1-0), is in ninth place in the ranking.
Still on track in the Europa League, the players face the Ukrainians Shakhtar Donestk on Thursday in the return match. Who will be on the bench? The answer remains unanswered.
