""Olympique de Marseille and Roberto De Zerbi, coach of the first team, have announced the end of their collaboration by mutual agreement," Marseille said in a statement. "Following discussions between all stakeholders in the club's management - the owner, president, director of football, and coach - it was decided to make a change at the helm of the first team. "This was a difficult collective decision, taken after careful consideration in the best interests of the club, in order to respond to the sporting challenges of the end of the season.""
"Roberto de Zerbi has left his role as manager of Marseille by mutual consent. The Italian's departure from the French club follows a 5-0 thrashing by Paris St-Germain and their recent exit from the Champions League following a 3-0 defeat at Club Brugge. De Zerbi took over at Marseille in the summer of 2024 after leaving Brighton, where he spent just under two years in charge."

Marseille suffered a 5-0 loss to Paris St-Germain and a 3-0 defeat at Club Brugge that ended their European campaign. De Zerbi joined Marseille in summer 2024 after leaving Brighton, where he spent just under two years in charge. He led Marseille to second place in Ligue 1 last season; the club sits fourth this season, 12 points behind PSG. Club leadership collectively decided to change the first-team coach to address end-of-season sporting challenges.
