While OM has a string of decent results in Ligue 1, coach Roberto De Zerbi has spoken out about his future with the Phocaeans.
L’Marseille Olympic is one of the most anticipated teams in Ligue 1. After a successful transfer window and the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi, a new cycle was hoped for. The Phocaeans seemed ready to compete with Paris Saint-Germain for the title. However, despite the good will of the leaders, poor results broke the club's dynamic.
With 20 points, OM are 9 points behind the leader, Paris Saint-Germain. This difference is due to worrying results against Auxerre and PSG where the Olympians lost 3-1 and 3-0. Following these incredible defeats, the future of Roberto De Zerbi already seemed compromised. Barely arrived in Marseille, the Italian tactician could already see himself leaving if the responsibility for OM's poor results was attributed to him. But everything seems to have changed. The former Brighton coach seems to have regained confidence and wants to continue his project as OM coach. He says he is ready, but above all, that he will not flee.
“I'm not resigning. I'm not running away. I didn't flee from Shakhtar itself when Putin dropped his bombs on kyiv. I will not run away.”
The season has only just begun
The arrival of Roberto De Zerbi warmed the hearts of supporters. The Italian tactician is recognized throughout Europe for his expertise. His signing for OM was considered one of the best moves of the transfer window, notably by Longoria and Mehdi Benatia, which is on track to be extended.
However, the season has only just begun. It is essential to give the coach time to implement his tactics. Many successful clubs in the past gave their coaches several years to fine-tune the system that suited them. Roberto De Zerbi is a very good coach and he has a great team. Olympique de Marseille still has a lot to show us this season.
