Italian coach Roberto De Zerbi confirmed his continuation in leading Olympique Marseille, sending a decisive message regarding his future with the French team, and emphasizing his confidence in his ability to continue the project for many years despite the recent pressures surrounding the club.

De Zerbi said in his statements: “I will stay at Olympique Marseille, I am strong enough to stay for at least another 5-6 years in the club,” clearly indicating his commitment to his mission and his desire to build a team capable of competing and regaining balance.

The Italian coach also made sure to confirm the cohesion of the locker room, explaining that the players support him at this stage, as he said: “The players are with me,” a message that reflects the team's unity and the group's belief in the work of the coaching staff despite the criticisms.

De Zerbi's statements came after Marseille's loss to Club Brugge with a score of 0-3 in the UEFA Champions League, a match that eliminated the team from the competition and sparked a wave of controversy about his future, before the Italian coach came out to settle matters and confirm his continuation, considering that the real response should be on the field by improving performance in upcoming matches.
