Roberto De Zerbi (Italian pronunciation: [ro\u02c8b\u025brto de d\u02c8dz\u025brbi]; born 6 June 1979) is an Italian professional football coach and former player, who is currently the manager of Ligue 1 club Marseille.\n

\n\n

Playing career

[edit]

De Zerbi started his professional career at AC Milan. He spent four seasons on loan to lower divisions clubs (Serie B to Serie C2). He spent 1999\u20132000 Serie C1 season in Como along with Alberto Comazzi and Luca Saudati of Milan. Half of the registration rights were also sold to Salernitana in the 2000\u201301 and 2001\u201302 season. In June 2002, Milan bought back De Zerbi from Salernitana, and subsequently sold him to Foggia.\n

De Zerbi signed for Serie B side Napoli from Catania for \u20ac2.5 million in 2006.^[3]\n

On 8 February 2010, Napoli announced his loan transfer to Romanian Liga I club CFR Cluj, with the deal being made permanent on 31 August 2010 on a three-year contract.^[4]^[5]\n

Coaching career

[edit]

Palermo

[edit]

On 6 September 2016, De Zerbi was named head coach of Serie A club Palermo following Davide Ballardini's departure by mutual consent due to disagreements with the board.^[6] His stint at the helm of the Sicilians, however, turned out to be negative, with seven consecutive defeats and no points at home in three months.^{[citation needed]} After a penalty shootout elimination in a home match against Serie B club Spezia, De Zerbi was sacked on 30 November 2016, and replaced with former team captain Eugenio Corini.^[7]\n

Benevento

[edit]

On 23 October 2017, De Zerbi was named head coach of 2017\u201318 Serie A newcomers Benevento.^[8] Despite the side being relegated back to Serie B at the end of the season, De Zerbi was praised for his possession-based, attacking football and transfer business.^[9]\n

Sassuolo

[edit]

On 13 June 2018, De Zerbi was appointed manager of Sassuolo.^[10] Under his tenure, Sassuolo were praised for their footballing style coupled with overachieving results, which led the small Emilia based club to two consecutive eighth place spots in the Italian top flight, losing a UEFA Conference League qualification place to Roma only on goal difference at the end of the 2020\u201321 Serie A season.^{[citation needed]}\n

In May 2021, De Zerbi announced he would leave Sassuolo at the end of the season.^[11]\n

Shakhtar Donetsk

[edit]

On 25 May 2021, De Zerbi was announced as the new head coach of Ukrainian Premier League club Shakhtar Donetsk.^[12] On 22 September, he won the 2021 Ukrainian Super Cup against Dynamo Kyiv at the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv, becoming the first Italian manager to win the title.^[13]^[14]^[15] He departed the club in July 2022 as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.^[16] He managed to leave the club at the top of the UPL during the unfinished season.^[17]\n

Brighton & Hove Albion

[edit]

2022\u201323 season

[edit]

De Zerbi succeeded Graham Potter as head coach of Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion on 18 September 2022, signing a four-year contract.^[18] He managed his first game in England on 1 October, in a 3\u20133 away draw at Liverpool with Leandro Trossard becoming the first Brighton player to score a Premier League hat-trick.^[19]\n

De Zerbi lost his first game at Brighton's Falmer Stadium on 9 October, calling his players \"fantastic\" despite the 1\u20130 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.^[20] His first win came on 29 October with a 4\u20131 thrashing of Graham Potter's Chelsea.^[21] De Zerbi went three games unbeaten against Liverpool in his debut campaign at Brighton, including beating them as defending champions in the FA Cup fourth round on 29 January 2023.^[22]^[23]\n

On 18 February, he was sent off by referee Darren England following Brighton's 1\u20130 home defeat against Fulham. De Zerbi was shown a red card for complaining that he had lost time to prepare for the match due to a refereeing meeting during the week. In a post-match interview, he said the \"level of refereeing in the Premier League is very bad\", whilst also criticising Darren England for not having a \"good attitude\".^[24]^[25] On March 3, he was banned from the touchline for one game and fined \u00a315,000 by the FA in the wake of his red card in the Fulham game.^[26]\n

On 8 April 2023, after an altercation with Tottenham Hotspur interim manager Cristian Stellini and other members of Tottenham's coaching staff during Brighton's 2\u20131 away defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, De Zerbi and Stellini were sent off. Following the match, De Zerbi stated: \"I am used to always respecting everyone and I want the same to me\". This followed alleged comments Stellini made towards him in an article published by Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport.^[27] The match was also marred by controversy after Howard Webb, chief refereeing officer of the PGMOL, later admitted Brighton should have been awarded a penalty for a foul on Kaoru Mitoma, the third such instance in the 2022\u201323 season in which Brighton had received an apology from the PGMOL for incorrect refereeing decisions.^[28]\n

De Zerbi guided Brighton to the semi-final of the FA Cup, where they faced Manchester United at Wembley on 23 April. Brighton went on to lose on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes. The Italian responded to the defeat by saying that Brighton \"have to close the page\" by putting disappointment behind them and fighting for a place in Europe.^[29]^[30] Three days later, Brighton went on to lose 3\u20131 at Nottingham Forest before their biggest Premier League victory at the weekend on 29 April, a 6\u20130 home win over Wolves to boost Brighton's European hopes.^[31]^[32] Brighton took revenge on Manchester United on 4 May, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring the only goal of the match, a 99th minute penalty that put Brighton on course for Europe.^[33] However, four days later, Brighton suffered one of their worst Premier League defeats and the worst under De Zerbi, losing to Everton 5\u20131 at Falmer Stadium. The Toffees opened the scoreline in 34 seconds.^[34]\n

On 21 May, Brighton beat Southampton 3\u20131 at home, securing a top seven finish, meaning that Brighton had qualified for Europe for the first time in the club's history.^[35] De Zerbi called the qualification \"more prestigious than winning the title\" with a top six club. The Italian spoke with pride of coaching Brighton, calling it \"an honour\".^[36] Three days later, Brighton sealed their place in the 2023\u201324 UEFA Europa League after a 1\u20131 draw at home against champions Manchester City.^[37]\n

2023\u201324 season

[edit]

De Zerbi's Brighton hosted Luton Town in the opening game of the Premier League season on 12 August, winning 4\u20131 with several players making their Brighton debuts including goalscorers Jo\u00e3o Pedro and Simon Adingra.^[38]\n

On Brighton's European debut on 21 September, they fell to a 3\u20132 home defeat to Greek champions AEK Athens, with both of Brighton's goals coming from Jo\u00e3o Pedro's spot kicks.^[39] At the Stade V\u00e9lodrome in Marseille on 5 October, in their first ever away game in Europe, Brighton came from two down to draw 2\u20132 with Pascal Gro\u00df scoring his first European goal. Pedro scored the equaliser, hitting home his third penalty in two Europa League matches.^[40] On 26 October, Brighton would win their first-ever match in Europe, after defeating six-time European champions Ajax at home in a 2-0 victory.\n

Following a 1\u20131 home draw against Sheffield United on 13 November, a match in which De Zerbi received a yellow card for his conduct on the touchline, he was critical of the performance of referees in England, stating: \"I am honest and clear. I don\u2019t like 80 per cent of England\u2019s referees. It\u2019s not a new thing. I don\u2019t like them. I don\u2019t like their behaviour on the pitch.\"^[41]\n

Brighton's league form under De Zerbi, after a strong start consisting of five wins in their first six games, became inconsistent as 2023 drew to a close, throughout which the squad endured several injuries to key players. By December 2023, ten Brighton players were unavailable due to injury, including forwards Kaoru Mitoma, Simon Adingra, Solly March, Ansu Fati and Julio Enciso, as well as defenders Pervis Estupi\u00f1\u00e1n, Tariq Lamptey, Adam Webster and Joel Veltman.^[42] Throughout the latter stages of 2023, Brighton's mixed results included a 6\u20131 away defeat to Aston Villa on 30 September^[43] contrasted with a 4\u20132 home victory over Tottenham Hotspur on 28 December,^[44] between which Brighton drew six and won two out of eleven games. \n

De Zerbi expressed frustration towards Brighton's January 2024 transfer window activity, with the club's only first-team signing being of 19-year old Argentine defender Valent\u00edn Barco. De Zerbi, when asked in a press conference about Brighton\u2019s midfield resources, stated: \u201cI spoke with the club, but they decided a different way\". The club had signed young midfielder Carlos Baleba, in addition to James Milner and Mahmoud Dahoud as replacements for the outgoing Mois\u00e9s Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister in the summer 2023 window, however Dahoud departed the club on loan in the January window.^[45] \n

Under De Zerbi's stewardship, the club advanced to the knockout phase of the Europa League and also won their group, after a 1\u20130 victory over Marseille in their final match of the group phase. On progression in Brighton's debut European campaign, De Zerbi commented: \"We will prepare for the rest of the Europa League in the same way \u2013 with our passion, our ideas, our attitude and pride. I'm really proud for this moment because we are without a lot of players and we are playing every three days. I know the level of the people inside the dressing room. I'm really lucky to be the Brighton coach because I love my players totally.\"^[46]\n

On 28 February 2024, Brighton's FA Cup campaign came to an end in the fifth round after a 1\u20130 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium.^[47] Brighton's Europa League campaign came to a halt in the round of 16 phase, after a 4\u20131 aggregate loss over two legs to Roma, with Brighton losing 4\u20130 away in the first leg. After the first leg defeat on 7 March 2024, De Zerbi stated: \"We played our game and we gave our best and maybe our best at this moment is this performance. Roma were much better in terms of showing their experience of playing this type of game and we suffered too much at this level of the competition, which we\u2019re not used to. We created a lot of chances, about as many as Roma, but Roma played at a different pace and won the game. It\u2019s the first time Brighton have played in the Europa League round of 16. it\u2019s a big step up for us but I know we played 20% less well than we can.\"^[48]^[49]\n

During March 2024, wherein De Zerbi became linked with managerial posts at several clubs including Barcelona, Manchester United, Liverpool and Bayern Munich, comments made by De Zerbi surrounding his future at Brighton invited speculation on whether he would leave the club. On whether an agreement had been reached with Brighton to renew his contract, De Zerbi stated: \"At the moment, no. We didn't find the agreement. The contract is a part of the future. It's important for me, it's important for everyone but it's a small part, the big part is the plan. We have to speak with the club. The future I want to keep my ambition, my motivation, I live for football 24 hours a day. I want to know what is the plan, what is the project, what is the future because if I don't feel comfortable, I don't feel the right motivation, I can't stay any longer.\"^[50] Despite these comments, De Zerbi later stated in May 2024: \"I think I would like to stay in Brighton because I love my players. I love this city. I love my club, my fans. I said in the meeting with the fans, if I'm happy, there isn't any club can bring myself to change a team but I want to keep my passion always.\"^[51] This followed a 1\u20130 home victory over Aston Villa, which left Brighton eleventh in the Premier League table, with the club having fallen out of contention for European qualification, following a series of prior defeats in 2024.^[52]\n

On 18 May 2024, Brighton & Hove Albion announced that they had reached a mutual agreement with De Zerbi to terminate his contract following the conclusion of the 2023\u201324 season. On his departure from Brighton, De Zerbi stated: \"I am very sad to be leaving Brighton, but I am very proud of what my players and staff have achieved with the support of everyone at the club and our amazing fans in the past two historical seasons. We have agreed to end my time at Brighton so that the club and I can continue to work in the way that suits each of us best, following our own ideas and visions, as well as our work and human values.\"^[53] De Zerbi's public discontent surrounding Brighton's recruitment strategy was cited as having contributed towards the \"irreconcilable differences\", which had formed between him and the club's hierarchy.^[54]\n

Marseille

[edit]

Ligue 1 side Marseille appointed De Zerbi as manager on 29 June 2024 on a three-year contract. De Zerbi began his season with a 5\u20131 win over Brest.^[55]^[56]\n

Tactics and style of management

[edit]

De Zerbi has developed a reputation for playing an attacking\u2013minded possession-based style of football, focusing heavily on shorter build-up from the goalkeeper rather than quick counter-attacks. He also favours a deep double pivot approach in a 4\u20132\u20133\u20131 system whilst deploying an aggressive high press off the ball. This aims to draw the opposition higher up the pitch centrally, which De Zerbi's teams aim to exploit by working the ball wide, with his full backs veering close to the touchline on both sides. Through the goalkeeper acting as an auxiliary centre back in this set up, full backs are provided with the opportunity to push further forward, with a centre-forward or number 10 interchanging positions using the space created by the deep double pivot inviting pressure from the opposition. In these situations, De Zerbi's teams exhibit flexibility in methods of receiving the ball, through direct, clipped passes over the opposition press from the goalkeeper or centre-backs, where an emphasis on an ability and confidence to receive the ball under pressure close to their own goal is placed.^[57]\n

During a low-build up, De Zerbi's teams use seven players starting with the goalkeeper in a 1\u20134\u20132 shape. The wingers remain high and wide in this scenario, with two midfielders acting as number 10s in positioning themselves between the opposition's backline and midfield line. Should the opposition's centre-backs push up in response, De Zerbi's wingers use the resulting space created to facilitate one-on-one situations against the opposition full-backs. If the opposition centre-backs remain deep, his teams aim to take advantage of a numerical superiority in midfield. In a high-build up, De Zerbi's team's utilise a 1\u20132\u20133\u20135 or 1\u20133\u20131\u20135\u20131 shape, with a single high and wide player to prioritise playing through the middle and shorten the length of the opposition's passes, whilst the wide player aims to pull the opposition back line out of position.^[58]\n

The style of play produced by De Zerbi's teams has been praised by some of his peers, including Spanish head coach Pep Guardiola citing him as \"one of the most influential managers in the last 20 years\".^[59]\n
