Olympique de Marseille perfectly completed its season in Ligue 1. Opposed at Stade Rennais at Stade Vélodrome, OM indeed won 3-1, thus validating its second place in the ranking behind PSG.

Qualified for the Champions League, the Marseille club should be able to envisage the future with serenity. But that is without counting on the declarations of Roberto de Zerbi at the end of the match against the Rennais, the Italian technician clearly opening the door to a departure.

“I have to speak with the club, to analyze the mistakes I could do or what I did not appreciate this season, then define a program for the future. I came here without a Champions League, so you can imagine that I want to live it with OM. I have a contract, it's true, but for me it does not count “he said in front of the microphones.

Roberto de Zerbi did not digest …

“The season was heavy. I have no worries with controversies and I like hot atmospheres. I am grateful to Frank, Pablo and Medhi to give me this opportunity to work on OM. I don't want to leave and I have no discussion with any club. But before we think of continuing, we must take stock objectively, he said again. You will not be able to know everything what happened but I have always tried to be honest and to tell the truth, especially after difficult moments like Reims-OM. You have to understand what did not work this season, and put things in order for the following: what programming, what investments, what rules and organization. »»

And Roberto de Zerbi, who would still have not digested the troubled period that followed the defeat in Reims and in particular rumors about a sling of players towards him, is not the only one to have the vagueness concerning his future at OM. It was the same for Adrien Rabiot. “Personally, I don't want to go back on what will happen next season. We are going to take a moment to land with President Longoria and Medhi Benatia »he indeed entrusted to the microphone of the Canal Football Club.
