The head coach of the French Marseille, Roberto De Zerbi, submitted his resignation. This is reported by the authoritative publication Footmercato. The mentor’s decision was a consequence of the team’s failed performance on the international stage.

In the final round of the Champions League, the Provencals suffered a crushing defeat away from Bruges with a score of 0:3. The result proved disastrous for the club’s ambitions, with Marseille ending their European campaign well ahead of expectations. The Olympians took 25th place with 9 points.

According to the source, De Dzerby is determined to leave his post. It is reported that tense internal negotiations between the coach and the management of Olimpik are currently ongoing in the club.

Despite the failure of the European Cup, in Ligue 1, Marseille shows stable results – the team is in 3rd place with 38 points after 19 rounds, and lags behind the leader PSG by seven points. We remind you that Roberto De Zerbi took charge of Marseille in July 2024, and his contract with the club is valid until June 30, 2027. Earlier, the Italian also worked as the head coach of Shakhtar.
