The question has been on the lips of many in Marseille since The Olympians sealed their second spot in Ligue 1 on the last match of the season on Saturday against Stade Rennais (4-2). Roberto De Zerbi said following the match that he “wants to stay 100%” at Marseille next season, but that he had to speak with the club president on certain changes at the club ahead of planning for next season in the Champions League.
RMC Sport reported last night that players are not 100% sure whether the Italian will stay at the club next season – but president Pablo Longoria was upbeat about keeping the former Brighton and Sassuolo manager at the club, at a press conference attended by Tezzbuzz.
“It’s part of the end-of-season discussions. Taking stock at the end of the season with the coach is always a good exercise. The club-coach relationship is based on trust. With Roberto, we started a cycle that we set out in a three-year contract. I think we’re in a good place. The club wants to continue with Roberto. Roberto has already expressed his desire to stay at the club. I think everyone is on the same page.”
“We’re not going to make a soap opera out of this. We need good timing,” said the Spaniard in his lengthy press conference at the Stade Vélodrome. “To plan a future together and bring stability to the club, we’re going to bring down the usual adrenaline level in this club so we can have a calm conversation.”
