De Zerbi follows in the footsteps of Tudor, Bielsa and Sampaoli do better

At the end of a completely crazy match, Olympique de Marseille won on the RC Lens pitch yesterday afternoon (1-3). The Olympians led by two goals and saw the Sang-et-Or come back to the level. However, Lensois' second goal, scored by Labeau Lascary, was refused for a foul at the start of the action. Only a few minutes later, the Artésiens' hopes were dashed with a sublime free kick from Pierre-Emile Højbjerg. Finally, the Phocéens leave the north of France with the three points and erased the blunder against AJ Auxerre just before the international break. Accounting level, OM has 23 points. A good start for Roberto De Zerbi.

Roberto De Zerbi surfs the traces of Igor Tudor

This victory is not insignificant for Roberto De Zerbi. Indeed, the Italian technician is one of the most prolific coaches at the head of OM in the 21st century. Indeed, only Marcelo Bielsa (28 points) and Jorge Sampaoli (24 points) do better than the former Brighton coach in the same period of time. On the other hand, he is tied with Igor Tudor. A good start for Roberto De Zerbi who managed to take points far from his bases. On the other hand, at the Vélodrome, it is a little more complicated. This will therefore have to be remedied over the course of the season to hope to secure European places at the end of the year.
