Roberto De Zerbi, the Italian coach who arrived at the start of the season to lead OM, is already in the hot seat after only eleven games at the head of the team. Two crushing defeats at the Vélodrome, against PSG (3-0) and AJ Auxerre (3-1), sowed doubt, both among the supporters and behind the scenes of the Marseille club. At a press conference, the transalpine technician surprised everyone by mentioning a possible resignation. He even gave a rather lunatic rant at the start of the season.
Since the end of September, loon is going through a delicate period, with a series of poor performances that make supporters cringe. It all started with a frustrating defeat at Strasbourg (1-0), quickly followed by a disappointing draw at home against SCO d’Angers (1-1) in the lair of the Orange Vélodrome. But the real blow came in the following matches, where Roberto De Zerbi's men suffered two defeats at home. The first, symbolic and painful, against their historic rival during the Classic against the PSG (3-0), left its mark. The second, perhaps more worrying, took place Friday evening against the AJ Auserrea promoted player who came to impose himself with authority (3-1) on the Marseille pitch. What followed was a violent bout of pressure from Roberto DeZerbi.
“If the problem is me, I’m ready to leave”
“I have to take responsibility for this defeat at home. We're having difficulties at home, that's clear. I don't know if it's a lack of courage or personality. I came here to play at the Vélodrome because I wanted to live the experience. If the problem is me, I'm good to go. I'm leaving without the money, the rest I don't care. I don't want to make excuses and talk nonsense. I'm not going to escape, we have to face reality. This is what I have to do,” declared the coach of loon after the defeat against l'AJA. At the start of the season, he put pressure on his locker room by revealing the contract that had been offered to him Manchester United.

“This is the contract they offered me, a contract for several seasons, with the salary you imagine. This is where I haven't been, because I put my passion before money. I came to Marseille for passion. “, the coach of loon to his locker room according to The Team. Quite a surreal feeling of pressure.
