""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.""
"De Zerbi joined Marseille in June 2024 from Brighton and took charge of 69 matches across all competitions, winning 39 of those encounters (D8 L22). Indeed, during his time at the helm, only Luis Enrique's star-studded PSG side (140) scored more Ligue 1 goals than Marseille's 120. The early reports on De Zerbi's replacement are suggesting that Habib Beye, who was sacked by Rennes earlier this week, is the leading candidate."
Roberto De Zerbi left his role as Marseille manager by mutual consent following a 5-0 league defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. The loss at Parc des Princes was Marseille's third Ligue 1 defeat in their last seven matches (W3 D1), matching their total in the previous 19 top-flight games. Marseille sit fourth and 12 points behind leaders PSG, prompting the club to act to secure Champions League qualification next season. De Zerbi joined Marseille in June 2024 from Brighton and managed 69 matches across all competitions, winning 39, drawing eight, and losing 22. Marseille scored 120 Ligue 1 goals under De Zerbi, second only to PSG's 140, and early reports name Habib Beye as the leading candidate to replace him.
