The Italian coach has experienced an exciting and exhausting season at the same time. Now he has the aim of maintaining second place, then he will evaluate whether to continue
The goal of direct qualification for the Champions League was reached, already on Saturday, by beating the Le Havre (1-3). Roberto De Zerbi, however, is not satisfied and wants the certainty of second place. In fact, a sort of bis champion in a championship monopolized by PSG. Therefore, the last day remains to keep the monk detached, in the wake at -1. But then the Italian technician, snubbed by colleagues for the seasonal trophies ceremony, will make his assessments on the future, beyond the contract on expiry 2027, between reflections on the market and management of internal relations.

It has been an exciting season for the Brescia coach, but also amazing. The Marseille project began from the ashes of eighth place in the past season. And with a rose again re -founded by the roots. It was therefore not easy to keep the team at high altitude, in fact always on the podium, apart from the momentary fifth place on the second day, with 4 points, but with the first four to six. In short, De Zerbi’s Marseille has experienced much of the year behind the PSG alone, second for 23 shifts, so far. And at the same time there was no lack of tension peaks, as in the autumn when De Zerbi put his resignation on the table: an outlet after an unexpected defeat. Or this spring, with the refusal to train its players and an attempted mutiny of the locker room. All before a withdrawal in Rome which reported serenity and motivation.

There was also some misunderstanding with the management in the management of the winter market that fueled the distrust of DS Benatia. While the voices giving De Zerbi among the candidates for the Milan or Rome bench were not welcome on the upper floors. In any case, the Italian wants to arm seconds before unbalanced on the future, also to understand what type of team can count next year. The team, for example, today puts Marseille Rosa on the market, including captain Balerdi, as well as the outside Luis Henrique, promised to Inter. And there would be no certainties even on Rabiot or, in the case of an important offer, on the Greenwood bomber, author of 19 goals: only two less than the dembélé top scorer of the PSG. In short, there is the risk that other frictions emerge between the club and a coach who, recalls the sports newspaper, is at the first experience at these levels in his career. And that in any case, insists the team, leads a second team only to the PSG for budget and wage mass. But that, as the technician often points out, had qualified for the Champions League just three times in the last ten years.
