RMC Sport claim that talks are even underway with a view to announcing the Italian’s departure, such is the anger over Marseille’s chastening 3-0 defeat by Club Brugge on Wednesday night; a result which ended the club’s hopes of reaching the play-off round. While it remains to be seen if Marseille will pull the trigger, the club’s sporting director, Medhi Benatia, pulled no punches with his words post-match, though he seemed to direct his ire at the players rather than De Zerbi.
He said: “I hope that the players are aware that tonight is a professional foul. I’ve lost games in my career, I’ve rarely felt that sense of shame, being able to concede six goals in two games. I want it to have consequences on the rest of the season.”
