Between the formalization of his signature on July 9, 2024 and
his dismissalwhich took place on the night of Tuesday to last Wednesday, Roberto De Zerbi will have remained around a year and a half on the sidelines of Olympique de Marseille.
That is, half the duration of his contract, which ran until June 2027. After the pitiful elimination in the Champions League and the debacle suffered last Sunday at the Parc des Princes against Paris Saint-Germain, the Italian technician no longer seemed to be the man for the job.
Samir Nasri sees it as an eternal beginning.
“What bothers me is that the project took three years. You took on a coach for three years, players for this project. And there, you will find yourself taking a new coach tomorrow who perhaps does not share the same philosophy and who will ask you for ten other players who will have nothing to do with it. You’re starting from scratch again.” noted the sports consulate on Canal +.
De Zerbi, endure too much to be a good coach
Roberto De Zerbi would not have behaved appropriately.
“He did not take the height he should have,
continues the former attacking midfielder. It’s like it’s a fan coaching the team. He is greatly affected by defeats. I have worked with coaches, they are affected by the defeat and the next day, it is over. I find this form of abandonment on his part a shame and a disappointment.”
Habib Beye now seems to hold the rope to take over from Roberto De Zerbi. On Saturday, for the reception of the Racing Club de Strasbourg at the Orange Vélodrome, Pancho Abardonado could act as interim coach, assisted by Romain Ferrier.
