Who will replace Roberto De Zerbi? In Marseille, the hunt is already underway — and the shortlist is mouth-watering. Big-name profiles, tactical gambles, unexpected returns: OM’s next coach could be a spectacular choice… or a more pragmatic turn.
The “galactic” options that spark dreams: these are the headline names mentioned in meetings — and in supporters’ fantasies. Xabi Alonso, Xavi, Ruben Amorim: modern profiles with a strong playing identity and European pedigree. The challenge lies in attractiveness, salary demands, and foreign competition. Complex cases, but ones being explored to send a strong signal if an opening appears.
Credible and Structured Coaching Candidates
Here come the coaches capable of imposing a method and a framework. Pioli brings top-level experience. Maresca appeals with his positional approach. Thiago Motta ticks the boxes for both project vision and personality. These are profiles compatible with a rapid rebuild — without turning everything upside down.
There are also the “character” options and surprise returns. Tudor remains an obvious temptation: knowledge of the club, authority, immediate impact. Laurent Blanc and Patrick Vieira offer experience, status, and Ligue 1 familiarity. These are choices that are as political as they are sporting — capable of calming or inflaming the environment.
Rising outsiders are also in the mix: Juric, Terzic, Bruno Lage, Adi Hütter, Vitor Bruno, and Habib Beye — more discreet profiles but suited to a commando-style mission. Franck Haise, highly rated, is also being tracked elsewhere — notably by Rennes. At OM, the 32nd coaching change since 2000 is approaching. This time, the appointment must not only make noise — it must last.
