According to the official statement of Olympique de Marseille, the collaboration between De Zerbi and the club has come to an end by mutual agreement.
Club Statement:
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.
Olympique de Marseille would like to thank Roberto De Zerbi for his dedication, commitment, professionalism, and seriousness, which were particularly evident in the team's second-place finish in the 2024/25 season.
The club wishes him all the best for the rest of his career.
Few hours ago, according to Romano, Roberto De Zerbi parted ways with Marseille with immediate effect. De Zerbi had previously stated openly that his time at Marseille "was not happy".
