Zerbi management begins to divide at OM: protector for some, brutal for others, it already arouses the debate.
Arrived in Marseille with the reputation of a passionate and innovative coach, Roberto de Zerbi is today at the center of a less flattering debate. His management methods, both intense and emotional, arouse questions within a reshaped group. Behind the visionary tactician hides a leader whose emotions too often guide decisions.
De Zerbi begins to tire his frames
According to what reports The team in its edition of the dayDe Zerbi showed this summer the limits of very personal management. Neal Maupay, whom he considered as a “son”, was finally banned, whileAdrien Rabiot left the club after having been one of his relays for a long time.

The Italian, renowned for his volcanic temperament, can switch from one extreme to another in an instant.

Leonardo BALERDI, captain criticized for his failure start to the season, remains protected by his coach, who praises “A magnificent person” Before talking about the player.

De Zerbi's explosive management is debated at OM
A balance to find in the storm
This emotional management, sometimes deemed toxic, tires certain historical elements of the group. Between gestures of tenderness and radical sanctions, Zerbi maintains an unpredictable atmosphere. At OM, where the pressure is constant, this style on the edge becomes a factor of wear, as much for the players as for the coach himself.
Marseille management continues to support it publicly,
Recalling his total involvement and his choice to live far from his family to carry the project. But the infernal calendar and the Champions League could soon amplify tensions. If OM wants to achieve its objectives, from Zerbi will have to channel its emotions and transform this intensity into a collective engine, rather than internal poison.
