Guillaume Hoarau Pays Tribute to Jean-Louis Gasset During Ligue 1 Memorials

Today, Guillaume Hoarau, a consultant for the Ligue 1 + channel, reflected on his first selection for the French national team under Laurent Blanc, alongside assistant coach Jean-Louis Gasset, who recently passed away. Hoarau delivered a heartfelt tribute to the late coach.

From the stands of the Vélodrome to the tribunes of the Parc des Princes, the 17th matchday of Ligue 1 was marked by numerous tributes to Jean-Louis Gasset. Following the last match of the day between PSG and PFC, the channel Ligue 1 +, where Gasset had recently joined as a consultant, also took a moment to honor his memory. Journalists and consultants shared their thoughts on their former colleague.

Among those paying tribute was Guillaume Hoarau, who made his debut for the French team in 2010 while Gasset assisted Laurent Blanc. Wearing the coach’s signature cap, Hoarau shared, “Jean-Louis was a significant figure for me. During my brief time in the national team, he supported me and was there for me. Losing someone is always tough, and he truly mattered to me during a time in my career when I wasn’t at my best with PSG.”

A New Tribute Planned in Montpellier

“I never had the chance to thank him while he was alive. I hope he rests in peace, and I send my love to his family and all those who were there in his final moments. Rest well, my Jean-Louis,” he concluded.

On Monday, emotions are expected to run high at La Mosson stadium as Montpellier faces Dunkerque in the 18th round of Ligue 2 (8:45 PM). Jean-Louis Gasset spent most of his career at MHSC, and his lifelong club will pay tribute to him before the match.
