Olympique Marseille appear to have struck gold with the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi, as the Italian manager continues to guide the club through what many are calling a “revolutionary” season. The atmosphere around the Stade Vélodrome has shifted noticeably, with De Zerbi’s modern ideas and bold, possession-driven style injecting new life into the team and energising the supporters.
Sources close to the club indicate that internal conversations are expected to take place soon regarding Marseille’s long-term plans with De Zerbi, whose early results have exceeded expectations. His arrival was initially viewed as a forward-thinking gamble, but it is quickly proving to be one of the club’s most inspired decisions in recent years.
On the pitch, the transformation is evident. De Zerbi has introduced a dynamic brand of football that is yielding both performances and results. So far, he has won 59% of his matches, an impressive figure that marks the highest win ratio recorded by any Marseille coach since 1993. For a club accustomed to fluctuating form and managerial instability, this level of consistency stands out dramatically.
