At Paris Saint-Germain as in many other clubs, he left a good image. Jean-Louis Gasset, whose death was announced this Friday afternoon at the age of 72, received a tribute from the capital club.
He was first the deputy of Luis Fernandez (2001-2003) then of Laurent Blanc, ten years later (2013-2016).
“Jean-Louis Gasset was a very special person for the Club and someone very important to me,” said Nasser al-Khelaïfi in a press release. In these painful moments, our thoughts are with his family, his loved ones and all those who shared his passion for football. »
Many trophies in Paris
“Three successful seasons from 2013 to 2016, with a treble in the first season (Championship-League Cup-Champions Trophy) and two historic quadruples, with the Coupe de France as a bonus,” notes PSG.
But above all, the French champion club recalls the good nature of the assistant on a daily basis: “Appreciated by the players he worked with in Paris, Jean-Louis Gasset left only good memories during his two visits to the capital, and always remained attached to Paris Saint-Germain when he returned to the Parc des Princes, with Montpellier, Saint-Étienne or even Bordeaux. »
In 2018, Zlatan Ibrahimovic also praised Jean-Louis Gasset in an interview with L’Équipe Magazine. The Swedish giant spoke of a “terrific guy” who had developed with Laurent Blanc a game close to “Barcelona” at PSG.
Many players in French football have paid tribute to Jean-Louis Gasset since the announcement of his death, he who notably coached Montpellier, Saint-Étienne, Bordeaux and even OM.
