Coaching career

Gamel played semi-professionally for various French and Italian clubs while coaching youth football teams. He has a pro-license from the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).

Fiji

On 31 December 2016, it was reported that Gamel would take over as the Fiji national team's new head coach, replacing the sacked Frank Farina.[2] Gamel says “I have my own methodology of work which has brought success to my teams in the past and I hope I can achieve the same with Fiji. My task is to build for the future and we will need everyone to be involved. We respect our opponents and we know that they are strong. Solidarity, sacrifices, hard work and our pleasure to play will be our weapons. First we build a new style of play and culture in all the national teams, then we develop coaches’ formations, develop a database for national players, improve international visibility of Fiji football, and develop the women’s game in Fiji.”[3]

On August 2019, Gamel had announced his retirement of being the head coach of the Fiji national football team, citing personal reasons. He would finish his role on 30 August 2019.[4]
