Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi has made it clear that he is in it for the long haul, aiming to become one of the club’s most important coaches in history. The team’s recent success, including a five-match unbeaten streak, has them sitting third in Ligue 1, just two points behind leaders Lens.
A win over Lille on Friday could see Marseille move to the top of the table, with both Lens and Paris Saint-Germain not playing until Saturday. Despite facing criticism, De Zerbi remains committed to the club and is focused on making a big impact.
Looking ahead to the new year, De Zerbi is determined to balance squad rotation with the club’s ambitions in both domestic and European competitions. Marseille currently sit 21st in the Champions League table but are within reach of the play-off places with three games left to play.
While the Opta supercomputer gives Marseille a slim chance of winning the Ligue 1 title, De Zerbi is determined to keep the team competitive on all fronts. He is eyeing success in the Champions League and hopes to continue their run in the competition.
As January approaches, De Zerbi is planning ahead to ensure the squad is managed effectively during a busy period of fixtures. He emphasizes the importance of making the right choices before matches and keeping all players involved.
Despite facing criticism for his decisions, De Zerbi remains confident in his ability to manage young players and guide Marseille to success. He acknowledges that mistakes can happen but is determined to lead the team to glory by the end of the season.
