Jean-Louis Gasset has been appointed as the new coach of Montpellier HSC, following the dismissal of Michel Der Zakarian after a heavy defeat against Olympique de Marseille. Gasset, a former player and assistant coach at Montpellier, takes charge of a team struggling at the bottom of Ligue 1, with only four points from eight matches. The club announced his appointment on October 22, 2024, emphasizing Gasset's deep ties to the club, as his father was one of its founders. Gasset's coaching staff will include Ghislain Printant and Vitorino Hilton, both of whom have strong connections to Montpellier. He aims to revitalize the team during a challenging season, with his first match set against Toulouse on October 27.
