This summer, Olympique de Marseille entered a new era. No more coaches' waltz, Roberto De Zerbi establishes himself as the man needed at the Marseille city club. Second in the standings with 30 points on the clock, OM have regained their splendor and hope to return to the Champions League next season. And De Zerbi's touch is starting to be felt on the Canebière. Moreover, the former Brighton manager is flirting with a record from the illustrious Marcelo Bielsa.
De Zerbi, first coach to have 10 victories after his first 16 official matches at OM
The first half of the season for Olympique de Marseille is good, but could be better. Indeed, the Phocaeans left valuable points en route near Vélodrome, home of OM. However, Roberto De Zerbi is the first coach to have 10 victories after his first 16 official matches in Marseille. The Italian thus flirts with the man with the cooler, Marcelo Bielsa who has 11 in 2014. But this season, the big strong point of the runners-up of Paris Saint-Germain is in away victories. Indeed, OM won eight of their first nine away games during a season for the very first time in their history. That’s the De Zerbi touch!
