Is retirement already over for French Jürgen Klopp?
Present in the Mosson stands to witness Montpellier’s rout against OM this Sunday (0-5), Jean-Louis Gasset would be in talks with the Hérault club to succeed Michel Der Zakarian, sacked following the meeting. If he had officially announced his retirement last May, the 70 year old coach could well resume service according to information from the Parisian and of The Team.
“Coach, it’s over”
However, the decision seemed irrevocable at the end of last season, when JLG declared “coach, it’s over, my decision is final” at the end of his mandate at the head of the Marseille club, but the former player (1975-1985), assistant (1985-1998) and coach of Montpellier (1998-1999 and 2017) could indeed return to his first love at La Paillade. While the position of sports director could also be considered, the most advanced option seems to be the coaching role for Gasset at MHSC. The officialization should take place in the coming hours, the red lantern of the championship receiving Toulouse on Sunday (5 p.m.) for the ninth day of Ligue 1.
We would have rather thought of Michel Mézy, Rolland Courbis or René Girard to breathe a breath of fresh air into the MHSC.
