Rachid Zeroual explains why he pushed Didier Deschamps to leave

In addition to having worn the OM jersey for many years, Didier Deschamps was also at the head of the first team. It was from 2009 to 2012 that the current coach of the Blues was in charge of the club. Rachid Zeroual, the leader of the South Winners, has just said more about the departure of the French technician.

His time as coach at Olympique de Marseille was convincing for Didier Deschamps. In three seasons at the head of the Marseille club, from 2009 to 2012, the French technician won nearly six trophies. However, he left in July 2012, after a final exercise that was more sportingly delicate. And Rachid Zeroual, the historic leader of the South Winners, confirmed during theAfter Foot that he had contributed to the departure of the current coach of the Blues:

“He got me involved in stories. As a supporter, we welcomed him by making banners on the corner to say that we had known him as a player and that we were the happiest in the world to see him as a coach. Then I don't know what came over him, he wanted to blow up people within the club. He went to war against them and he got us involved in this war, so what. We had nothing to do in the meantime. I tried to make up for it.”

Before continuing: “He went to say stupid things to Nicolas Sarkozy, like I was the sponsor of the robberies and carjackings of players. What do you want me to tell him? That I love him?”

Shortly after his departure from Marseille, Didier Deschamps will quickly find a new challenge. He will take over from Laurent Blanc at the head of the Blues. And a little over twelve years later, he is still in office. He was able to afford the 2018 World Cup and the Nations League in 2021.
