As a direct consequence of the crisis experienced by the club, Gennaro Gattuso and his staff were axed by OM

Olympique de Marseille's defeat in Brest, despite having numerical superiority for more than 30 minutes, was the final straw for Gennaro Gattuso. As announced by Foot Mercato and confirmed by La Provence, the Italian and his staff will not be on the bench against Shakhtar Donetsk on Thursday night. The club has decided to part ways with them, and they were suspended on Monday morning.

This marks the end of a short stint of just over five months: the Italian had been called in as a replacement after Marcelino's sudden departure. In 24 matches managed, the former AC Milan player, not helped by a poorly constructed and psychologically fragile squad, won 9, drew 8, and lost 7. A very average record in terms of results and very poor on the field. But beyond Gattuso's performance, his departure is also an admission of failure for Pablo Longoria and the club, which have been changing coaches and finding no stability on the bench and in the style of play developed.

After Marcelino, Pancho Abardonado, and Rino, the Marseille players will have a fourth coach in a season that is turning into a complete disaster.
