Jean-Louis Gasset Returns to Coach Montpellier Amid Struggles

The veteran coach steps out of retirement to lead his hometown club after a series of losses left them at the bottom of Ligue 1.

Jean-Louis Gasset, 70, has been appointed as the new manager of Montpellier following the sacking of Michel Der Zakarian.
Montpellier sits at the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings with only one win in their first eight games this season.
Gasset, who previously announced his retirement, is taking charge of Montpellier for the third time in his career.
His first match as head coach will be against Toulouse at home on October 27, marking the start of his mission to avoid relegation.
Gasset's deep ties to Montpellier include a decade as a player and his father being one of the club's co-founders.
