"Olympique de Marseille and Roberto De Zerbi, coach of the first team, have announced the end of their collaboration by mutual agreement. 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 the summer of 2024 after leaving Brighton and led the Velodrome club to a second-placed finish in Ligue 1 last season. He departs with Marseille fourth in Ligue 1, 12 points behind leaders PSG. The 46-year-old's stock remains high in England after an impressive spell at Brighton. The Seagulls qualified for European competition for the first time under his leadership with an attacking, possession-heavy brand of football that won many admirers away from the Amex Stadium."
