The summer transfer window proves to what extent Olympique de Marseille has retained all of its power of attraction.
Omnipresent on the transfer market, theMarseille Olympics has managed the feat of attracting one of the most highly rated technicians in European football. The Marseille club has bet on the Italian Roberto De Zerbi to launch its new project after a disappointing season.
The arrival of this coach demonstrates the particularity of OM. A club apart in the landscape of European football.
“I don’t know if we realize the scope of this club, even if we know it in Marseille. We often say that OM is a special club,” explained former professional footballer Kevin Diaz.
“Why is De Zerbi coming to Marseille?”
For the RMC consultant, the arrival of De Zerbi is an unexpected blow. “So the Parisian or Lyon supporters will tell you no, but it is the case because today there is one of the best coaches in Europe, even in the world. In any case a Top 15 in the world.”
“Why is he coming to Marseille? He’s coming because the Vélodrome, the atmosphere, the enthusiasm around this club and this team are extraordinary. Literally extraordinary. That’s why De Zerbi is coming. If it’s Monaco, I’m not sure he’ll come. He said it, he’s coming for the atmosphere, for the potential, for the history of this club. And then there are players who come because De Zerbi chose this club! But where does that exist? In very, very few clubs in the world,” concluded Kevin Diaz in the After Foot.
