OM struck a major blow this summer by recruiting Roberto De Zerbi. The Italian coach had one of the best odds on the market and his choice was towards the Marseille club. The machine finally seems to be launched since the team responds to the instructions of the one whom Steve Savidan calls “the Messiah of Marseille”.
At the end of a chaotic season which saw three coaches go on the bench, loon should not fail to find a new coach. The leaders pulled out all the stops by enlisting Roberto De Zerbi, once announced to Manchester Unitedau FC Barcelona or even at Bayern Munich. A Marseille, By Zerbi was expected as the Messiah according to Steve Savidan.
“Everyone was waiting for him as ‘the Messiah of Marseille’”
« OM is on a long-term project. This year, they only have the championship to play and the cup. Now is the time to build a squad to be operational next season. This year, the objective is to achieve a very good ranking with qualification for the Champions League, why not go as far as possible in the cup. But above all, it is to build a squad. As we have seen, De Zerbi did not have such a promising start. Everyone expected him as 'the Messiah of Marseille' but it was complicated », blurted out the former French international about the coach of loon in the show Rothen Ignitesbefore continuing.
“We have to secure this 2nd place”
« In November-December, it started to take hold. So now, the second phase of the project, there was communication, there was the arrival of certain players, now we have to do a little cleaning up in the squad to have competitive players and have a bench length. I think they're going to be on the lookout for a lot of opportunities. They showed it to us when they recruited Rabiot. It’s an extraordinary blow for OM. They may not go hunting for PSG because they are a little far away. But in any case, we must secure this 2nd place », added Steve Savidan. Roberto DeZerbi is therefore in the process of convincing him.
