Olympique de Marseille in mourning

Today, the club has lost much more than a coach: it has lost a respected figure in football, an experienced technician, and someone who was deeply committed to the human values of the sport.
 

Having spent time at OM during a challenging period, Jean-Louis Gasset always embodied a certain idea of football: rigor, humility, hard work, and loyalty. Recognized by his peers for his keen knowledge of the game and his ability to unite a group, he left his mark on every institution he served with his professionalism and integrity.
 

In Marseille, he brought calm, balance, and wise insight. Appreciated by players and managers alike, he leaves behind the image of a fair and attentive man who was deeply respected both on and off the field.
 

Beyond his results and his career, it is above all the man himself that the football family remembers today: a sincere enthusiast, discreet but determined, guided by a love of the game and respect for others.
 

Olympique de Marseille extends its deepest condolences to his family, loved ones, and all those who had the privilege of working alongside him.
 

Jean-Louis Gasset will forever remain in the memory of French football and in the history of OM.
