All that was missing was the signature: Olympique de Marseille made official this evening the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi on the bench for the next three seasons.
“I am very happy to be joining Olympique de Marseille, I had a very strong desire to join this club. The history and prestige surrounding OM, the passion and fervour of its supporters, the seriousness and enthusiasm shown to me by Frank, Pablo and Medhi were decisive in my decision to take on this exciting challenge. I can’t wait to sit on the bench at the Orange Vélodrome, this time as OM coach, and help the club regain the rank that Marseille deserves.”
It is with these words on the club’s website that Roberto De Zerbi reacted to the officialization of his arrival on the bench of Olympique de Marseille. It’s done, the Italian technician has signed for three years.
After two seasons in Brighton, the Transalpine will therefore discover Ligue 1, and write a new page in the rich history of OM. It remains to be seen what face his team will have next season, which will already welcome Lilian Brassier and which tracks in particular Mason Greenwood.
