Roberto de Zerbi, the former Brighton manager, has officially been announced as the new coach of French giants Olympique Marseille. After being linked with a move away from Brighton throughout the season, it was confirmed that he would be leaving the club after their final game. Following the departure of Jean-Louis Gasset, Marseille wasted no time in securing de Zerbi’s services, signing him to a three-year contract in the south of France.
In a statement, de Zerbi expressed his excitement about joining Marseille and cited the club’s history, prestige, and passionate supporters as key factors in his decision. He emphasized his eagerness to take on the challenge of coaching OM and helping the club reclaim its rightful place in the football world. De Zerbi mentioned the enthusiasm and professionalism shown to him by the Marseille leadership as crucial in his decision to accept the position.
As OM’s new coach, de Zerbi will have a lot to live up to at Marseille. However, with his experience and track record at Brighton, he is expected to bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to help guide Marseille towards success on and off the pitch. The Orange Vélodrome will soon see de Zerbi on the sidelines as OM’s coach as they aim to climb the ranks and achieve new heights under his guidance.
