A dramatic twist unfolded overnight in Marseille. OM made a swift decision: Roberto De Zerbi has been dismissed after the crushing defeat in the Classique. The brutal call, made in urgency, confirms the scale of the crisis surrounding the club.
Hired with a reputation as a tactical genius and an ambitious playing philosophy, the Italian coach did not survive the downward spiral: collapsing results, a tense locker room, and furious supporters. The heavy loss to PSG (5–0) triggered the final breakdown. An emergency meeting, rapid talks, and an immediate verdict — his mission is over.

“Following a consultation involving all key members of the club’s leadership — owner, president, sporting director, and head coach — it was decided to proceed with a change at the head of the first team. This collective and difficult decision was made after thorough consideration, in the club’s best interest, to address the sporting challenges at the end of the season,” OM said in an official statement.

The statement released in the middle of the night mentions a separation “by mutual agreement.” Internally, however, the reality is said to be far more direct: the cycle was considered finished and the split unavoidable.
Behind the scenes, management reportedly believed his message was no longer getting through. European disappointment, repeated poor performances, and disastrous league scenarios had severely damaged his standing. The Classique served as the final trigger, and despite flashes of quality and a clear playing identity, instability, defensive fragility, and lack of results in key matches proved fatal to the project.
