Holder of a Master's degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents' dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
In recent weeks, journalist Daniel Riolo was affirmative. Roberto de Zerbi had not refused any big name this summer contrary to what certain rumors announced. But within the Marseille locker room, the Italian technician provided the proof, namely a contract offered by Manchester United just after his departure from Brighton.
OM achieved a big coup by attracting Roberto de Zerbi this summer, one of the most fashionable European coaches. Some media are giving rise to the idea that the Marseille club has gained the upper hand over several big names like Bayern Munich or Manchester United. But throughout the month of August, Daniel Riolo dismantled this version and evoked another, less flamboyant scenario.
OM, a default choice?
« I am absolutely delighted that Roberto De Zerbi is at OM, I find it great that we have a guy like that in our championship. I said it from the first minute. But, I just said that he had no other choice, he had no other offer. It’s the truth and it’s information that I take 100% responsibility for.” had declared Daniel Riolo. But this Sunday, The Team indicates that Manchester United had thought carefully about Roberto de Zerbi to replace Erik ten Hag on his bench this summer.
De Zerbi reveals Mancunians' offer
On August 17, before a match against Brest, the coach of theABOUT had tried to remobilize the troops by revealing the contract proposed by the Red Devils. « 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 » had then confided By Zerbi in front of his group. A mantra repeated after his team's defeat against'AJ Auxerre this Friday evening (1-3).
