In his second season as Marseille's head coach, Roberto De Zerbi is raising the bar. Speaking to L’Équipe, the Italian manager laid out his bold ambitions: to make Champions League qualification a yearly norm, bring stability to the club, and instill consistency and high standards. He acknowledged that while last season was decent, it wasn’t enough — especially considering OM’s inability to challenge PSG. Citing the one-sided record in the “Classique,” he downplayed the rivalry’s significance for now. Still, De Zerbi remains determined. Backed by strong leadership and a promising transfer window, he’s focused on building a team that can perform consistently. His vision is to create a competitive squad not just for a moment, but for an entire season. Above all, he wants to restore Marseille’s pride and status in both domestic and European football.
