Marseille beaten 5-0 by PSG and 3-0 by Club Brugge
De Zerbi joined as head coach in 2024 after Brighton exit
Roberto De Zerbi has left Marseille in the wake of a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain. The nine-time French champions said on Wednesday that they had ended “their collaboration by mutual agreement.”
The heavy loss Sunday at the Parc des Princes restored PSG’s two-point lead over Lens after 21 rounds, with Marseille fourth. De Zerbi’s team also endured an embarrassing 3-0 loss at Club Brugge two weeks ago that resulted in Marseille exiting the Champions League.
De Zerbi, who had apologised to Marseille fans after the loss against the club’s bitter rivals PSG, joined Marseille as head coach in 2024 after two seasons at Brighton. After tightening things tactically in Marseille during his first season, his recent choices had left many observers puzzled.
