It may have been only a year for Roberto de Zerbi already thought of completing his suitcases. The Italian coach, who metamorphosed OM by making him a conquering game identity and solid results, is announced with insistence on the side of Inter Milan. A rumor that continues to swell, while the Nerazzurri seek a successor to Simone Inzaghi after their humiliation in the Champions League final against PSG.
This Wednesday, a former tricolor world champion added his grain of salt. This is Emmanuel Petit. In a remarkable outing on RMC Sport, he considered that seeing Zerbi join the inter “Would not be a surprise.” For him, “The past year in Marseille, however successful it is sportingly, has left traces”. The gap with PSG, the difficulty of competing for the title, but also the sirens of a more stable and ambitious club like Inter, could be enough to convince him. And to insist: contracts no longer mean much in modern football.
From Zerbi on departure? A world champion is doubtful
Words that are both decided and premature. Because for the time being, from Zerbi has not acted. The Italian technician, faithful to his speech, recently said: “I am happy in Marseille, I have not received any calls. »» But the pressure rises. Especially since Cesc Fabregas, the main competitor to the Inter at the Inter, was retained by his Como club, relaunching Zerbi's track forcefully.
OM: Towards a precipitated end for Zerbi?
This new opinion, as subjective as it is, comes to fuel a climate of mistrust. Some will see a simple intuition. Others, an attempt at destabilization. But in any case, it reveals a very real concern on the side of the Canebière.
As long as Inter Milan has not formalized its next coach, this scenario remains open. And as the alternative tracks vanish, from Zerbi seems to slide in spite of himself towards an exit door. An outcome which, if it is confirmed, would leave a huge void in Marseille.
