On RMC SportJérôme Rothen gave his feelings on the project developed by Pablo Longoria within the Olympian club. The former Parisian believes in it more than in the past: “Will De Zerbi settle in for the long term? I hope there is stability in this club, Finally. I've had the show for over three years now, I spoke a lot with Pablo Longoria. I had the impression that he was right and that he was backpedaling every time. And this instability was chronic. There, you have the feeling that there is a real turning point, already because he surrounded himself with men in the field, and Medhi (editor’s note Benatia) is one of them. »
“It’s good that Medhi is here”
Jérôme Rothen is particularly delighted that OM is banking on former players: “I am happy to see that a big club like Olympique de Marseille is integrating veterans into the management who can contribute. It is sorely lacking in French clubs, so it's good that Medhi is here. And then a passionate person like Roberto De Zerbi with all his staff, It can only do good for Olympique de Marseille. Before the match against Auxerre, I find that in terms of communication and everything he was able to bring out, it was a 100% success”he continued.
As a reminder, Roberto De Zerbi's project is supposed to last three years. No coach has had two consecutive full seasons since Rudi Garcia (2016-2019).
