Stéphane Gilli: Long-Term Focus & Results at FC Basel

This summer, three coaches from Ligue 2 discovered Ligue 1: Luis Castro (Nantes, ex-Dunkirk), Stéphane Le Mignan (Metz) and Stéphane Gilli (Paris FC). For Castro, it’s over since Wednesday. Mignan was very close to the exit and remains weakened before welcoming PSG this Saturday, at the head of the red lantern. Stéphane Gilli, for his part, is operating in less troubled waters.

As is often the case since the acquisition by the Arnault family, there is a gap between the external perception of the situation and the internal reality. If, from the start, some observers felt that the suit – given the size of the project – risked being too big for Gilli to wear, the latter benefits from the total confidence of its shareholders.
