Jean-Louis Gasset (born 9 December 1953) is a French former football player. He is currently the manager of Ligue 1 side Montpellier. As a player, he played as a midfielder, spending ten years at his hometown club Montpellier.[1]

Football career

[edit]

Born in Montpellier, Gasset played ten years at his hometown club Montpellier.[1]

He led Montpellier to victory in the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 1999.[2] He then coached Caen and Istres.[3] He was assistant to Luis Fernández at Paris Saint-Germain and Spain's Espanyol.[4]

Gasset was the main assistant of Laurent Blanc as manager of Bordeaux, the France national team and PSG from 2007 to 2016, notably conducting the training sessions.[5]

He had the top job at Montpellier again for the second half of the 2016–17 season, finishing 15th.[6] He then became Oscar's right-hand man at Saint-Étienne, and succeeded the Spaniard in December 2017, just an hour before a 2–1 loss at Guingamp.[7]

In June 2018, having turned Saint-Étienne's season around to finish sixth, missing out on the UEFA Europa League on goal difference to Bordeaux, Gasset was given another year in the job.[8] A year later, having come fourth and secured a place in that European competition, he resigned due to disputes with the board over transfer budgets.[9]

Gasset was hired by Bordeaux on 12 August 2020, after Paulo Sousa's exit.[10] On 27 July 2021 he left the club.[11]

On 20 May 2022, Gasset was appointed coach of Ivory Coast, succeeding Patrice Beaumelle, whose contract expired on 6 April 2022.[12] He handed his resignation on 24 January 2024, following a poor performance at the group stages of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations hosted by Ivory Coast.[13]

On 20 February 2024, Gasset became the head coach of Marseille, following the dismissal of Gennaro Gattuso.[14]
