Appointed this summer on the OM bench, Roberto De Zerbi has had a rather convincing start to the season with his new team since he is currently in second place in the championship, behind PSG.

It is a fact, theABOUT made many changes during the market with no less than twelve new recruits as well as a change of coach! Roberto DeZerbi arrived at the club to succeed Jean-Louis Gassetand therefore lead this big revolution within the project McCourt. A new challenge which is going rather well for the moment for the Italian technician, given that OM are in second place in Ligue 1 behind PSG.
“De Zerbi didn’t necessarily expect that”
Questioned in the mixed zone Sunday evening after the victory ofABOUT on the lawn of FC Nantes (2-1), Adrien Rabiot confided in these numerous changes of the market at theABOUT and evokes a big surprise for Roberto DeZerbi with his discovery of the French championship: “ There are rehabilitations and we said it with the coach, we have quite a few players who come from foreign championships, young players who have to adapt. The coach has also experienced something else and did not necessarily expect that in Ligue 1 », confides the midfielder of theABOUT.
OM on the right track
And despite this surprise, By Zerbi seems to have found the right method to put theABOUT on the right track: “ We have a lot of things to work on, a lot of details to improve, but when we put it all together, we see that we are second.
