Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi issued a defiant statement after watching his side throw away a two-goal lead to draw with Paris FC. De Zerbi was clearly emotional after the match which his side led courtesy of goals from Mason Greenwood and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but threw their lead away late in the game, which came just days after OM were dumped out of the Champions League.
The president of Marseille, Pablo Longoria, has issued an update on the future of his manager Roberto De Zerbi following reports that the Italian tended his resignation earlier in the week. This came after the club missed out on qualification for the Champions League knockout stages on goal difference, with De Zerbi supposedly willing to leave southern France.
Roberto De Zerbi has clarified his Marseille future after reports surfaced he had resigned following the French side's Champions League exit. The Ligue 1 outfit were dumped out of the competition in midweek after a 3-0 loss at Club Brugge, coupled with Benfica's dramatic 4-2 win over Real Madrid. After speculation mounted the Italian had stepped down from his role, De Zerbi has now set the record straight.
Roberto De Zerbi is reportedly ready to quit Marseille, with the fiery Italian coach said to have handed in his resignation following failure to guide the Ligue 1 giants towards the last 16 of the Champions League. His contract at Stade Velodrome is due to run until the summer of 2027, but said agreement could be terminated more than 12 months prematurely.
Roberto De Zerbi is in 'great danger' of being sacked after his Marseille side were dumped out of the Champions League in dramatic fashion. The French side looked to be limping through to the playoff stage of the competition despite losing 3-0 to Club Brugge on Wednesday night. But Benfica's last-gasp 4-2 win over Real Madrid ensured Jose Mourinho's side pipped Marseille to the last qualifying spot.
The Champions League league phase drew to a predictably chaotic conclusion on Wednesday, with all of the matchday eight fixtures kicking-off at the same time. The net result was numerous positional changes over the course of 90-plus minutes of madness, though the highlight was undoubtedly Anatoliy Trubin scoring a last-second header to keep Benfica in the competition.
Arsenal wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri is set for an immediate baptism of fire in Ligue 1 after Roberto De Zerbi suggested the teenager could make his Marseille debut as early as Saturday. The 18-year-old is on the verge of completing a loan move to the French giants alongside Quinten Timber, with the Marseille boss confirming both "strong players" are ready to bolster his squad for the weekend clash against Lens.
Ethan Nwaneri has revealed which Arsenal player told him to join Marseille. The teenager has arrived in the south of France to complete his loan move to the Ligue 1 giants for the second half of the season in a bid to garner regular minutes. Nwaneri has struggled for action under Mikel Arteta having dropped down the pecking order for the north London side.
Former Manchester United star Angel Gomes is set to leave Marseille in January after just six months with Roberto De Zerbi's side. The midfielder has struggled to make an impact at the Stade Velodrome so far in the 2025-26 campaign and is being pushed towards the exit so that the Ligue 1 side can make room for some new recruits to bolster the first-team squad.
Roberto De Zerbi has broken his silence on speculation he's a potential candidate to become the next permanent Manchester United head coach following Ruben Amorim's sacking. Former midfielder Michael Carrick has been appointed on a caretaker basis until the end of the 2025-26 season while the Red Devils continue to search for a permanent replacement for Amorim.
Arsenal starlet Ethan Nwaneri has reportedly held “positive” talks regarding a loan move to Ligue 1 giants Marseille. The talented 18-year-old playmaker is eager to find regular game time early in 2026, with fierce competition for places being faced at Emirates Stadium. Any switch to France would see the youngster link up with ex-Manchester United winger Mason Greenwood and former Gunners striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Oliver Glasner will depart Crystal Palace at the end of the season, the Eagles boss confirmed in his press conference on Friday. But that may not have increased his chances of becoming the next permanent manager at Manchester United, amidst the belief that current England boss Thomas Tuchel is ahead of the Austrian in the running - despite the fact that United would need to wait until after the World Cup in order to secure his services.
Roberto De Zerbi could yet become Manchester United manager this summer, with the former Brighton and Hove Albion boss having many "admirers" at Old Trafford, according to a new report. The club have hired Michael Carrick as their interim manager following the departure of Ruben Amorim, and plans are being drawn up for the hiring of his permanent successor this summer.
The jig is up for Ruben Amorim. After 14 unforgettable months as head coach, he has been sacked by Manchester United. He broke many records for the wrong reasons, lost a European final to Tottenham and was dumped out of the Carabao Cup by fourth-tier side Grimsby Town. Yet it is only now that those upstairs at Old Trafford have decided to pull the trigger.
The Bundesliga may still be on a winter break, but there was plenty of other action across Europe as 2026 got off to a cracking start for some of the continent's elite teams. In England, Arsenal took another big step towards a first Premier League title since 2004 by moving six points clear thanks to a 3-2 win at Bournemouth, while reigning champions Barcelona continue to lead the way in Spain after beating city rivals Espanyol thanks to late goals from Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski.
We're only halfway through the season but Chelsea are looking for a new manager, after parting company with Enzo Maresca on New Year's Day. On the one hand, the Italian's exit is a surprise, given he won both the Conference League and Club World Cup during his first season at Stamford Bridge. However, it had been clear for some time that Maresca wasn't entirely happy in west London, with the former Leicester City boss sensationally going public with a perceived lack of support within the club after last month's Champions League loss to Atalanta.
