During the last summer transfer window, Pablo Longoria’s OM recruited twelve players in total. Despite everything, the Marseille club ignited this winter transfer window, by offering no less than five new players. At the same time, OM cleaned up its squad. On RMC Sport, the management of Roberto De Zerbi was completely called into question.
At the end of the 2023-2024 season, theABOUT formalized the signing of Roberto De Zerbi. From his first season Marseillethe Italian coach allowed his team to find the Champions League. To look good in C1l’ABOUT ignited the last summer transfer window, recruiting twelve players in total. And this winter, five reinforcements are joining the Olympian club. While theABOUT has also done a major clean-up of its workforce in recent months, Jerome Rothen pointed out Roberto De Zerbi, in the show Rothen bursts into flames.
“He is also responsible for this instability”
“Instability is the cause of all crises and the last years of OM in this inconstancy. Since the arrival of Pablo Longoria, I have always had the impression – in fact it’s not an impression, it’s an observation – that there were too many changes of coaches, who stayed for a year and gave up, and of players, because there were too many movements. You have good seasons, but you don’t rely on that collectively to get to know each other, which is what De Zerbi said at a press conference. So does De Zerbi have a say in recruitment? Because I thought it was. A coach like that, who comes with nine assistants, you still imagine that he has a say in recruitment. So he is also responsible for this instability. If he implies no? Well yes, except that it doesn’t go with everything we’ve been told about his role. He went out of his way to find out if he would stay at the end of last season, I imagine the discussions weren’t just financial. So he too was in agreement with their speech in August”railed Jerome Rothenformer left midfielder PSG, this Monday.
“You can’t continue like this.”
In the process, Jerome Rothen added a layer: “How can anyone explain to us that in the winter transfer window, there are five arrivals? It’s half a team. You can’t continue like this, telling us in July-August that the players recruited are great players, and six months later the guys are out. It’s a huge mess actually. With that, you can’t move forward.”
