<a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/live-ligue-1-follow-paris-sg-brest/" title="LIVE – Ligue 1: follow Paris SG-Brest”>Michel Der Zakarian goes on a rout. At the end of the heavy defeat conceded at home by Montpellier against Olympique de Marseille (5-0), Laurent Nicollin announced that the technician would not be the coach of the Hérault club. The president of the MHSC confirmed the sentence at a press conference, annoyed by the new disappointment of his players.
The Southerners are the red lanterns of the elite. Montpellier is 18th with only 4 points and 1 victory. “Given the performance and the attitude that I saw this evening, I felt obliged to intervene and stop our collaboration,” explained Louis Nicollin’s son at a press conference. It’s not a happy thing because he’s someone I really like. But in life, the important thing is the club, it’s not the people. He is no longer the coach of Montpellier Hérault. »
“I am ashamed to have taken 5-0 at home against Olympique de Marseille, with all the respect I have for OM,” continued the president. I am ashamed for myself, for my club and my supporters. That’s what I said to my players this evening, they blew up the coach and they will benefit from being a little better on Sunday against Toulouse. It’s up to everyone to realize that if we don’t do anything we’re heading straight for it. »
He, on the other hand, doesn’t really know where he’s going. He said he had “anticipated nothing” about the succession of Der Zakarian, who was officiating for the 200th time in Ligue 1 on the Montpellier bench. He coached the MHSC twice and returned to Mosson in February 2023. “As a coach, I don’t know, I assure you, it won’t be me,” concluded Nicollin.
