Gennaro Gattuso should be the next OM coach. Two weeks ago, Johann Crochet gave his opinion on the coach who had a mixed stint in Naples between 2019 and 2021.
The president of theOlympic Marseille Pablo Longoria obviously chose Italian Gennaro Gattuso. The journalist and correspondent for RMC, Johann Crochet, gave his opinion on the technician when his name was announced in Lyon on September 11.
Struggling to understand who Gattuso is as a coach
“Gattuso was a great player… that’s what you can say about him. I have a hard time understanding who Gattuso is as a coach. He had contradictory speeches. On the one hand he told you that he was inspired by Marcelo Lippi, on the other they could say that if he had players who looked like him he would put them on the bench because he wanted to offer modern football and therefore to players who think and reflect in midfield. He believes that it would have been difficult for him to play in this type of team. These two speeches do not go together, Lippi football and modern football do not go together. Philosophically I had a lot of trouble following Gattuso, I have the impression that these words were a bit out of the ordinary just to get a message across. Gattuso we will mainly be able to talk about management, more than about the field and that is not good news. During his time at Napoli, he arrived after a mutiny in the squad. The locker room is broken, he manages to restore order, he makes the locker room want to play football and get hurt. It works pretty well the first months with an Italian Cup. The second season is more complicated despite some quality matches because it had players with talent but also total purges in terms of football. That’s why it’s difficult to feel. There are players who will have to wet their necks because he insists that when the match begins he is the worst enemy of his players… Tactically he is rather comfortable in the 4-3-3 or even the 4-2 -3-1. »

We don’t know what his coaching personality is.
While Gattuso was announced in Lyon, Daniel Riolo had pointed out the lack of style of play proposed by the former coach of FC Valencia. “It is not because he was a good player, that he observes football well and that he has known good coaches, knows all the ideas that can be implemented on a pitch, that the We become a coach who manages to structure a message and convey it to the players. We don’t know what his personality is as a trainer, we have the impression that he doesn’t want to be locked into a style, that makes for an incomplete trainer. There will be the language setting too, even if he speaks Italian, English and Spanish. Gattuso still coached Naples, he has a great playing career. »
