Un ancien entraîneur qui sort de sa retraite ?
It is a virtual certainty, Bordeaux will evaluate in Ligue 2 next season. A catastrophic team which has had three different coaches this season: David Guion, who replaced Vladimir Petkovic in February, and Jean-Louis Gasset who left at the end of July. The latter could also very quickly come out of retirement and become a coach.
When he retired, Jean-Louis Gasset did not stay there very long. It lasted a year the first time, after announcing his departure from Saint-Étienne in July 2019, he took over the Girondins team in August 2020. Before retiring for a second time last summer, following the appointment of a new coach. But last week, Côte d’Ivoire, in search of a new coach, has unveiled its shortlist. A list with three names, of which only the name of Jean-Louis Gasset is known. A boon for him, who told the newspaper l’Équipe in January 2020 of his dream of becoming coach of an African selection. ” When I get up in the morning at 5 a.m., I go to my kitchen, where there are three piles of papers on as many African selections. I compiled everything I found on each of them. I would like that. A CAN would be a terrible thing to experience. »
Not the favorite among Ivorian supporters
However, in Côte d’Ivoire we would be skeptical about the appointment of the former coach of the Girondins. 106 wins, 37 draws and 55 losses, it is however the total record of Jean-Louis Gasset on the bench of Bordeaux. An unknown record since he was Laurent Blanc’s assistant for 3 years (2007-2010) before taking on the Bordeaux team alone in the summer of 2020 (13 wins, 6 draws, 20 losses). During his only season as coach of the Girondins, he had obtained a 12and place, just 5 points from 18and place.
It is precisely this last season as a coach that has encountered doubt among Ivorian supporters. These will be fixed at the beginning of the week, where the name of the future coach should be revealed.
