The descent of Montpellier HSC from Ligue 1 has not yet been determined. Despite the darkest prospects at eleven points behind the relegation place, the club now dares to change coaches. Jean-Louis Gasset, who held the post at the end of the 1990s and in 2017 and had only returned from retirement because of the difficult situation of the MHSC. This was decided in mutual consent, it said in a club announcement on Monday. Anyone who now runs the training was not revealed at first.
According to Claudio Ranieri (73, AS Rome) and Manuel Pellegrini (71, Real Betis), the 71-year-old was the third oldest head coach of the European top 5 leagues so far. With Montpellier, where he took over in October last year, Gasset only won three wins and two draws with 15 defeats in the league. In the trophy they embarrassed themselves with a 0: 4 at fourth division Le Puy Foot. The French champion of 2012 is imminent after 16 years of first class.
