Roberto De Zerbi is reportedly set to become the new Marseille manager.
According to journalist Santi Aouna, the former Brighton coach rejected an offer from Manchester United.
The speculation around Erik ten Hag’s future had been rampant, with many reports suggesting his dismissal as United manager was imminent.
However, the club’s hierarchy has confirmed their confidence in Ten Hag’s leadership.
The Athletic reported that United had engaged in talks with De Zerbi, even presenting him with a financial package, but the Italian coach opted for the challenge at Marseille.
From a Man United perspective, retaining Ten Hag could provide stability after a season of mixed results.
The decision to continue with Ten Hag suggests that the club sees potential in his vision and strategy for the team.
However, De Zerbi’s rejection might be seen as a missed opportunity to inject new ideas and energy into the squad.
De Zerbi’s choice of Marseille highlights his commitment to a project he finds more aligned with his aspirations.
His tenure at Brighton showcased his tactical acumen and ability to elevate teams, which will now be Marseille’s gain.
This development will be closely watched by United fans, especially ones who had anticipated significant changes in the coaching staff.
