Summary
- Roberto De Zerbi has left his role as Marseille boss with immediate effect.
- De Zerbi is reportedly keen to return to England, alerting Man Utd and Spurs.
- Marseille's defeat to PSG proved to be too much for the manager's early exit.
Roberto De Zerbi has left his position as Marseille boss with immediate effect. This decision follows the team's substantial 5-0 loss against Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday. The result left Marseille trailing leaders PSG by 12 points in Ligue 1.
De Zerbi, who was under contract until the end of next season, reportedly initiated his early exit after the heavy defeat. He had guided Marseille to a second-placed finish in his debut season in 2024, despite finishing significantly behind PSG.
His availability is anticipated to attract interest from Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. Both clubs have been linked with the Italian as a potential successor to current management, with United expected to make a final decision on their next manager in the summer.
