Nasser Al-Khelaïfi pays heartfelt tribute to Jean-Louis Gasset | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain is in mourning following the announcement of the death of Jean-Louis Gasset, a respected figure in French football. A former coach and renowned man of the field, Gasset left a deep mark on the clubs he served, including the Parisian club. The Parisian president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi paid tribute to him on the club’s official website.

Al-Khelaïfi: “Jean-Louis Gasset was a very special person to me”

The passing of Jean-Louis Gasset goes beyond the simple story of a coach’s career. At PSG and elsewhere, he embodied that generation of discreet yet essential technicians, builders of locker rooms and transmitters of knowledge. Known for his rigor, his humanity, and his ability to bring people together, Gasset always put the collective ahead of personal recognition.

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s words are not just a tribute for the occasion: they reflect the real importance of a man who mattered to the club’s balance. In a modern football world that is often rushed and exposed, Jean-Louis Gasset represented a form of stability and respect—rare but precious values. Today, PSG loses much more than a former staff member: it loses a reference figure, whose influence will continue to resonate in the memory of the club and French football.
