Marseille has taken the decision to terminate Gennaro Gattuso’s contract following their recent 1-0 defeat at Brest over the weekend.
This decision marks the end of Gattuso’s tenure at the club, which lasted only five months.
The decision to part ways with Gattuso comes amidst growing pressure and dissatisfaction with the team’s performance under his leadership.
Despite initial optimism surrounding his appointment, the results have not met expectations, leading the club’s management to make the difficult decision to seek a change in leadership.

According to reports, Jean-Louis Grasset, the former assistant coach of Paris Saint-Germain who departed Ivory Coast during the Africa Cup of Nations, is set to assume control of Marseille until the conclusion of the season.
“We’ve hit rock bottom,” Gattuso told a postmatch news conference after Sunday’s defeat.
“When you hit rock bottom, you have to take responsibility. It’s my responsibility. There is nothing else to say.
The table? The truth is that we’re going to have to start looking behind us. We can no longer speak about Europe.
We just need to take the necessary points to be calm in the standings.”
Marseille and Gattuso have now started a legal proceeding to part ways and the club is actively looking for a replacement,
according to the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Gattuso’s departure has not been announced by the club.
