Roberto De Zerbi had a great start to the season on the OM bench, putting a lot of observers and supporters in his pocket. Nevertheless, and while the results have been more mixed recently, he himself assured that he would leave if the problem lay around him. The opportunity for Walid Acherchour to draw up a sad observation about Olympique de Marseille.
Since his arrival as president of theABOUT in February 2021, Pablo Longoria had to appoint no less than six coaches. Jorge Sampaoli benefited from the trust of the boss of the Marseille club before being replaced by Igor Tudor, Marcelino, Gennaro Gattuso, Jean–Louis Gasset then by Roberto DeZerbi this summer.
“Sampaoli, Tudor… What do we ultimately want from Olympique de Marseille?”
And this, only in the space of three and a half years. For Walid Acherchour who confided in RMC on Generation Afterthis climate of tension around OM is detrimental to the club in terms of maintaining its coaches. “Coaching OM is a different job. We had Marcelino, after 5 games he was chased out even though the results were good and in Ligue 1 he had not lost once. The year before, Tudor finished 3rd in Ligue 1 with a rather interesting game where he filled in for 3/4 of the season. The players were not happy, it was divisive around Igor Tudor. Sampaoli made the European semi-final and 2nd in the ranking at the end. There was a lot of division around Sampaoli. What do we ultimately want from Olympique de Marseille? “.
De Zerbi will follow?
Roberto DeZerbi remains on two bitter defeats at home in Ligue 1 against the PSG on October 27 (3-0) and againstALSO Auxerre last Friday (3-1). After the setback in Marseille, the Italian coach confided that he was ready to leave his post if this performance problem at theOrange Velodrome came from him. Is he doomed whatever happens to leave like his predecessors?
