Marseille have confirmed the departure of manager Roberto De Zerbi, a long-time target for those in charge at Manchester United.
While De Zerbi, formerly of Brighton & Hove Albion, had publicly vowed to remain with Marseille just a few weeks ago, reports claim he changed his stance due to concerns over a lack of support from the players. Sunday’s 5–0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain proved to be the final straw and Marseille confirmed the “difficult decision” to part ways with De Zerbi by mutual agreement.
