De Zerbi Considers Resignation After Marseille Loss

Roberto De Zerbi, head coach of Olympique de Marseille, has expressed his willingness to resign if he is considered the cause of the team's poor home performance, despite currently being second in the Ligue 1 standings, six points behind PSG. After a 3-1 defeat to Auxerre, De Zerbi, who joined Marseille in June after leaving Brighton, voiced his frustration with his team's inability to replicate their away game performances at home, specifically at the Stade Velodrome. In a press conference, he stated, 'If I'm the problem, I'm ready to leave,' emphasizing his commitment to the club's success over financial gain. Marseille's struggles at home have seen them win only once in five games, leading De Zerbi to highlight issues of courage and personality among the players. Prior to joining Marseille, De Zerbi reportedly turned down an offer from Manchester United, choosing Marseille for the passion and experience of playing at the Velodrome. He remains focused on improving the team's form and is set to face RC Lens next.
