The future of Roberto de Zerbi at Olympique de Marseille is now written in dotted lines.

He is supposed to embody the ambitious project of the Pablo Longoria-Mehdi Benatia duo… and yet, after a short season in Marseille, Roberto de Zerbi could leave theOM
From next summer.

According to information from the Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian technician is in pole position to take over from Sergio Conceiçao on the AC Milan bench.

Roberto de Zerbi, a year and then leaves?

Arrived during the season to replace Paulo Fonseca, who has joined Olympique Lyonnais since then, the Portuguese technician would pay the price for this waltz of coaches placed by the French championship. Large in the scudetto race, Milan is living a very delicate season. And Zerbi would be perceived as the ideal profile to restore the club's coat of arms.

In this context, can a question arise: can Olympique de Marseille release Roberto de Zerbi in three months? The Italian is under contract until 2027, and he benefits from total confidence in his management, despite the start of the crisis last weeks.

Instinctive and dogmatic, from Zerbi could choose to leave the ship, as he has already hinted. But all parties will have to find a financial agreement. And Milan will have to pay the price.
