A thunderclap in Marseille: De Zerbi’s sudden departure has shaken the locker room. Called into an emergency meeting with management, the players are reportedly stunned by the decision.
Roberto De Zerbi’s exit caught many at OM by surprise, especially inside the dressing room. On the management side, Longoria and Benatia are said to be deeply affected, and the future of their partnership is now reportedly under internal review.
Coaching Change Triggers Internal Turmoil
Within the squad, the decision is not going down well. Several senior players believe the coach was not the true cause of the crisis. Greenwood, who was particularly close to the Italian manager, is said to be heavily impacted. The atmosphere is tense, uncertainty surrounds the identity of the next coach, and player departures could follow.
Beye to replace De Zerbi? In Marseille, the succession plan is already underway with multiple profiles under consideration. Star names like Alonso, Xavi, and Amorim are appealing but difficult to secure. More accessible builders such as Pioli, Maresca, or Thiago Motta are viewed as solid options to structure a new long-term project. Other strong-character choices or surprise returns like Tudor, Blanc, or Vieira are also being considered to handle the urgency, while several outsiders are gaining momentum. The objective is a coach who makes an impact — but above all, one who can last.
