Football career

Born in Montpellier, Gasset played ten years at his hometown club Montpellier. [1]

He led Montpellier to victory in the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 1999. [2] He then coached Caen and Istres. [3] He was assistant to Luis Fernández at Paris Saint-Germain and Spain's Espanyol. [4]

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. [5]

He had the top job at Montpellier again for the second half of the 2016–17 season, finishing 15th. [6] 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. [7]

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. [8] 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. [9]

Gasset was hired by Bordeaux on 12 August 2020, after Paulo Sousa's exit. [10] On 27 July 2021 he left the club. [11]

On 20 May 2022, Gasset was appointed coach of Ivory Coast, succeeding Patrice Beaumelle, whose contract expired on 6 April 2022. [12] 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. [13]

On 20 February 2024, Gasset became the head coach of Marseille, following the dismissal of Gennaro Gattuso. [14]
