Roberto De Zerbi departs Marseille after heavy PSG defeat
Roberto De Zerbi has left Marseille “by mutual agreement” following a disappointing run of results. The decision comes after Marseille suffered a heavy 5-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain and crashed out of the Champions League. De Zerbi had only been in charge since the summer of 2024 and had previously enjoyed success with Brighton. The club cited the need for a change to meet their objectives for the rest of the season.
