OM, only ninth in Ligue 1 and which is going through a catastrophic season, confirmed on Tuesday the departure of its Italian coach Gennaro Gattuso, who is leaving the club after less than five months in office.
“Olympique de Marseille announces the end of its collaboration with Gennaro Gattuso,” wrote the Marseille club in a brief press release in which it thanks Gattuso and his staff “for the flawless investment and the great professionalism they have demonstrated “.
The Italian was fired this Monday morning following a series of poor results and in particular a new defeat in Brest (1-0) this Sunday evening.
