Passionate about sport, cinema and television (on screen as well as behind) since his childhood, Bernard has been a journalist for 10 Sport since 2018. More skilful with the keyboard in hand than with the ball on his feet, he decides to mainly cover a beloved sport, criticized and hated at the same time (football) and a sport that is not one (wrestling).
Wanting to bring stability to its project, Olympique de Marseille has decided to bet on Roberto De Zerbi to succeed Jean-Louis Gasset on the bench. A very nice catch on the part of the Marseille club that comes at a cost. A substantial salary is promised to the Italian, who should become one of the highest paid technicians in Ligue 1.
The opinions are unanimous, Pablo Longoria did well for the new coach of theABOUT. While the names of Paulo Fonseca et Sergio Conception was mentioned, it was ultimately Roberto De Zerbi, who seemed out of reach, who was chosen. Seduced by the prospect of taking part in a long-term project, with a three-season contract, within a prestigious club with a rich history and warm atmosphere, the Italian said yes to the president of the ‘ABOUTwho had taken the temperature without really believing it. On Monday evening, the soap opera ended with the announcement of an agreement in principle reached.
De Zerbi earns between €6 and €7 million
And to reach this agreement, both parties made an effort. Eager to obtain at least €10M per season in his new club after the end of his adventure at Brighton, Roberto De Serve would have lowered its requirements for committing toABOUT. For his part, Pablo Longoria would also have made a financial effort in addition to the €6M donated to the training of Premier League. And The Team mentioned an annual salary of €6M for the new Marseille coach, the site SassuoloNews.net assures for its part that the Italian will receive €7M. Or at least €500,000 gross per month, making Roberto De Zerbi the highest paid Ligue 1 coach behind Luis Enrique au PSG if we rely on last season’s ranking.
Only PSG pays its coach more
Few months ago, The Team had revealed the salaries of the coaches of the French championship. Unsurprisingly, Luis Enrique dominated the debate with €923,250 gross per year. Adi Hütter (Monaco – €250,000) and Patrick Vieira (Strasbourg – €220,000) completed the podium and should therefore be overtaken by Roberto DeZerbi.
Before they left, Marcelino et Gennaro Gattuso was already following the technician of the PSG with a gross monthly salary of €330,000. Jean-Louis Gasset, who finished the season on the Marseille bench, recovered €150,000 gross per month according to estimates from the sports daily. They too will therefore be beaten by the new coach of theABOUT.
