Premier League
Roberto De Zerbi is about to close a chapter that promised much more than it ultimately delivered. In Marseille, it is already understood that the Italian coach will not continue at the helm of the team after a season that has left too many doubts.
Elimination from the Champions League and the inability to keep up with the leader have ultimately hastened a decision that seemed inevitable.
A project that has not met expectations
Roberto De Zerbi arrived at Olympique de Marseille with the reputation of being a modern, courageous coach with a clearly defined playing style. However, results did not accompany him at the crucial moment of the season.
The premature exit from the Champions League was the first significant blow. The club expected to compete more solidly in Europe, but the team showed inconsistency and a lack of assertiveness in decisive matches. This stumble eroded internal confidence in the project.
In Ligue 1, the gap with Paris Saint-Germain has sealed the fate of this stage. Not keeping up with PSG was acceptable in economic terms, but the manner in which Marseille has fallen behind has created a climate of frustration among the management and fans.
The decision seems to be made, and the dismissal will occur in a matter of hours. An abrupt ending for a coach who still holds a significant reputation in the European market.
Old Trafford, the destination gaining strength
Despite his imminent departure, De Zerbi would not take long to find a new destination. Manchester United emerges as the most probable scenario for the 26/27 season.
At Old Trafford, the Italian is seen as the ideal profile to lead a profound rebuild. His ability to implement a recognizable playing style, his focus on young talent, and his ambitious nature align with what the English club seeks for its immediate future.

Reports from England suggest that De Zerbi is the top candidate to take charge of United in the upcoming cycle. He is not just another contender but a priority option backed internally within the club's sporting structure.
A new challenge to revive his career
For De Zerbi, landing at Manchester United would entail a colossal challenge. After an inconsistent period in France, taking over one of the world's most high-profile clubs would be a perfect opportunity for redemption.
United needs a coach with a strong personality and a clear vision to bring stability to a project that has been seeking direction for years. Despite the setback in Marseille, the Italian is still perceived as a coach with room for growth and the ability to evolve squads.
His potential arrival in the Premier League may not be immediate but strategic. United's planning is geared towards the medium term, and De Zerbi fits into that vision.
The outcome in Marseille seems imminent. Roberto De Zerbi will leave the French bench, but his career does not stop. Old Trafford looms on the horizon as the next major stage for a coach who, despite the recent fall, remains one of the most attractive names in the European market.
