De Zerbi already madly in love with Marseille

Roberto De Zerbi: Already a Phocean at Heart?

Friends, we already knew it, but it’s always nice to hear our coach speak with such passion about OM and Marseille. Roberto De Zerbi, who only arrived last summer after a notable stint in Brighton, didn’t take long to fall under the spell of the Phocean city. Honestly, who could resist the atmosphere of the Vélodrome and the fervor of our fans?

A Sincere Attachment to the City and the Club

In an Italian podcast, De Zerbi shared some really interesting confessions. He tells how one of his first coaches in Milan advised him to draw inspiration from OM in the 90s, notably from Chris Waddle. As a result, the coach fell in love with our club… even before setting foot here! He also talks about Marseille as the most multicultural city in Europe, full of contradictions, but which gives so much to those who invest in it. Do you also feel this special vibe?

A Coach in Sync, a Cohesive Locker Room?

We all know that to succeed at OM, it’s not enough to have degrees or a solid resume. You have to love the city, understand the mentality, and especially vibe with the supporters. De Zerbi has understood this well and it shows on the field: we have regained a team that plays with heart, that dares, even if everything is not perfect. Do you also think the spirit has changed since his arrival? Let's talk about it in the comments!

Sporting and Financial Impacts: Stability or Illusion?

The management and Frank McCourt trust him 100%, but will this mutual love be enough to ensure the stability we all dream of? We have seen passionate coaches falter under the Marseille pressure in the past. And then, with the transfer market approaching, can this special relationship attract new talents, or on the contrary, drive up prices? We wonder: how far can this love story between De Zerbi, OM, and Marseille go?

And Now, What Are We Aiming For?

So, friends, do you think De Zerbi is the coach we needed to revive our OM in the long term? Can his attachment to the city really make a difference over an entire season, or even more? Give us your opinion, share your feelings, and as usual, let’s debate together in the comments!
