Marseille Set to Appoint Roberto De Zerbi as New Head Coach Following Brighton Stint

Posted : 25 June 2024

Marseille have announced an initial agreement to appoint Roberto De Zerbi, the former manager of Brighton, as their new head coach. The French club disclosed on Monday that they are in the process of finalizing the arrival of the Italian coach and his staff to the OM bench, with plans for De Zerbi to arrive in Marseille in the coming days.

 

De Zerbi, aged 45, notably guided Brighton to a historic sixth-place finish in the Premier League during the 2022-23 season, securing European qualification for the first time in the club's history. Despite their successful Europa League campaign reaching the round of 16, where they were ousted by Roma, Brighton faced challenges maintaining their domestic momentum in the subsequent 2023-24 season, eventually finishing 11th and parting ways with De Zerbi.

 

Marseille, meanwhile, endured a turbulent 2023-24 season starting under Spanish coach Marcelino, who resigned after just seven games. His successor, former Italian midfielder Gennaro Gattuso, lasted only five months before his dismissal. The season concluded under Jean-Louis Gasset's interim stewardship as Marseille settled for an eighth-place finish outside European qualification spots.

 

De Zerbi's appointment marks Marseille's bid to stabilize their coaching situation and revamp their competitive edge ahead of the upcoming season in Ligue 1.
