Roberto De Zerbi has a new job! Marseille announce Italian manager's appointment after shock Brighton exit

The French club confirmed on Saturday that they have roped in the Italian as their new manager until 2027. De Zerbi lands the new job just over a month after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/roberto-de-zerbi-clarifies-future-shock-brighton-exit-amid-talk-harry-kane-new-manager-bayern-munich/blt46a82c48cc3365b8#cs826ac67582211d06" target="_blank">shockingly parting ways with Premier League side Brighton</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The 45-year-old coach was linked with multiple high-profile jobs in the past few months with clubs like Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Chelsea reportedly interested in securing his services. However, he had made it clear after leaving the Seagulls that he would love to spend more time with his family and was in no rush to take up a new managerial role.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

After penning a three-year deal, De Zerbi told Marseille's <a href="https://www.om.fr/en/news/4803/1st-team/89402-olympique-de-marseille-appoints-roberto-de-zerbi-coach" target="_blank">official website</a>, "I'm delighted to be joining Olympique de Marseille, as I had a very strong desire to join the club. The history and prestige that surround OM, the passion and fervour of its supporters, and the seriousness and enthusiasm shown to me by Frank, Pablo and Medhi were all decisive factors in my decision to embark on this exciting challenge. I can't wait to sit on the bench at the Orange Vélodrome, this time as OM coach, and help the club regain the position that Marseille deserves."

WHAT ROBERTO DE ZERBI SAID

After achieving immense success with Brighton in the Premier League in the past one and a half seasons, the manager will hope to replicate that in the Ligue 1 with his new club.
