To get out of the crisis, OM decided to bank on Jean-Louis Gasset. The appointment of the French coach did not please everyone. Some Marseille supporters pointed the finger at the advanced age of the former ASSE coach. But for Grégory Lorenzi, sporting director of Brest, this can actually be an asset, and takes the example of Real Madrid to justify his comments.
OM did not expect to experience such a season when the Ligue 1 resumed last summer. In a few months, Marseille has already known his fourth coach of the season. After the failures Marcelino et Gattusoand the temporary Jacques AbandonadoIt is Jean-Louis Gasset who landed. The former coach of the Ivory Coast has the mission to bring the Marseille club back up the rankings, and try to manage the end of the season as best as possible, before giving up their place.
Gasset is criticized for his age

However, upon his arrival, the former deputy of Laurent Blanc au PSG was heavily criticized. Some supporters did not validate management’s choice to appoint such an old coach (70 years old). In the columns of The Team, Gregory Lorenzisports director of Brestinsisted on defending Jean-Louis Gasset, by praising the merits of coaches with a lot of experience. “I don’t see why a 65-year-old technician wouldn’t be as efficient as a coach who has no experience,” judges the Brest sports director, Grégory Lorenzi. Age should not be a barrier. We certainly have more energy when we start and when we are younger, but the years can provide experience that allows us to manage ourselves better and adapt to the workload, quite simply. »

The example Carlo Ancelotti
To support his demonstration, Gregory Lorenzi took as an example Carlo Ancelottiwho continues to win with the Real Madrideven though he is 64 years old. “There are older coaches who are successful. When I see Atalanta playing with Gian Piero Gasperini (64 years old) for years, I am sorry but he is a very good coach. And at Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti (64 years old) lasts because he renews himself and knows how to adapt, which is the main quality of a coach. »
