The world of football mourns the death of Jean Petit, former AS Monaco icon, at the age of 74. Former player, coach, assistant and even video analyst, the native of Toulouse has worked with many personalities on the Rock, such as Didier Deschamps. The coach of the French football team did not hide his sadness in a press release published this Tuesday evening on the FFF website.
“Jeannot, a figure in the French Championship, was absolutely loyal to AS Monaco. He also wore the blue jersey (12 caps). Personally, I will never forget the total and precious support he gave for three years when I was starting out as a coach at ASM (2002-2005), when I had had a first season for the least complicated, without him. We kept in touch and it was always a great pleasure for me to see him again. To his family and friends, I send my support and affection.”
