Jean-Louis Gasset, 70, takes charge of Olympique de Marseille after Marcelino, Gennaro Gattuso and Jacques Abardonado for a brief interim. Marseille is ninth in Ligue 1, eliminated in the Coupe de France and has not won against a professional team since mid-December.
He will make his Marseille debut on Thursday February 22 at the Vélodrome against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League. “I was asked to succeed in a bet and I'm enjoying the moment, as my little ones say,” he says.
