Football career

Born in Montpellier, Gasset played his whole career with hometown club Montpellier HSC.[1]

He led Montpellier to victory in the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 1999.[2] He then coached SM Caen and FC Istres.[3] He was assistant to Luis Fernández at Paris Saint-Germain F.C. and Spain's RCD Espanyol.[4]

Gasset assisted Laurent Blanc as manager of FC Girondins de Bordeaux, the France national team and PSG from 2007 to 2016.[5] He had the top job at Montpellier again for the second half of the 2016–17 season, finishing 15th.[6] He then became Óscar García Junyent's right-hand man at AS Saint-Étienne, and succeeded the Spaniard in December 2017 just an hour before a 2–1 loss at EA Guingamp.[7]

In June 2018, having turned Saint-Étienne's season around to finish sixth, missing out on the UEFA Europa League on goal difference to Bordeaux, Gasset was given another year in the job.[8] A year later, having come fourth and secured a place in that European competition, he resigned due to disputes with the board over transfer budgets.[9]

Gasset was hired by Bordeaux on 12 August 2020, after Paulo Sousa's exit.[10]
