Jean-Louis Gasset (born 9 December 1953) is a French football manager and former player who is the head coach of Ligue 1 club Marseille. As a player, he played as a midfielder, spending his entire ten-year career at his hometown club Montpellier.

Football career

Born in Montpellier, Gasset played his whole career with hometown club Montpellier.

He led Montpellier to victory in the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 1999. He then coached Caen and Istres. He was assistant to Luis Fernández at Paris Saint-Germain and Spain's Espanyol.

Gasset was the main assistant of Laurent Blanc as manager of Bordeaux, the France national team and PSG from 2007 to 2016, notably conducting the training sessions.

He had the top job at Montpellier again for the second half of the 2016–17 season, finishing 15th. He then became Oscar's right-hand man at Saint-Étienne, and succeeded the Spaniard in December 2017, just an hour before a 2–1 loss at Guingamp.

In June 2018, having turned Saint-Étienne's season around to finish sixth, missing out on the UEFA Europa League on goal difference to Bordeaux, Gasset was given another year in the job. A year later, having come fourth and secured a place in that European competition, he resigned due to disputes with the board over transfer budgets.

Gasset was hired by Bordeaux on 12 August 2020, after Paulo Sousa's exit. On 27 July 2021 he left the club.

On 20 May 2022, Gasset was appointed coach of Ivory Coast, succeeding Patrice Beaumelle, whose contract expired on 6 April 2022. He handed his resignation on 24 January 2024, following a poor performance at the group stages of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations hosted by Ivory Coast.

On 20 February 2024, Gasset became the head coach of Marseille, following the dismissal of Gennaro Gattuso.
