Jean-Louis Gasset, a former French football coach, died on 27 December 2025. Born 9 December 1953 in Montpellier, he began his playing career with AS Béziers and spent ten years at Montpellier HSC (MHSC) as a midfielder before moving into coaching. He led MHSC to the top division in 1998, then served in roles with SM Caen, PSG, Bordeaux, and the French national team, winning the French league, Coupe de France, and Coupe de la Ligue in 2007 with Bordeaux. Gasset returned to MHSC in 2017 to avoid relegation and later managed Saint‑Étienne, Bordeaux again, and the Ivory Coast national team. In 2024 he guided Olympique Marseille to a stable eighth‑place finish. The French president and his wife expressed condolences to his family and fans.
