Marseille Reach Agreement To Appoint De Zerbi As New Manager
Olympique Marseille have announced they have reached an agreement with Roberto De Zerbi to become their new manager.
The 45-year-old Italian joined Brighton as a replacement for Graham Potter in September 2022 and led them to the Europa League for the first time in their history with a sixth place finish.
Last season, Brighton reached the round of 16 stage of the Europa League and finished 11th in the Premier League.
Marseille finished last season in eighth position in Ligue 1, and went through three different managers.
Marseille said in a statement: “Olympique de Marseille announces that it has reached an agreement in principle with Roberto De Zerbi.
“The club is currently working with all stakeholders to formalise the arrival of the Italian coach, as well as that of his staff, on the OM bench and prepare for his arrival in Marseille in the coming days.”
