Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi has expressed frustration and hinted at a potential resignation following a string of poor home performances.
His side suffered a 3-1 loss to Auxerre on Friday, increasing the manager’s worries.
Although De Zerbi’s team sits second in Ligue 1, they’ve managed just one win in five home games this season, conceding three goals in each of their last two home losses.
“If I’m the problem, I’m ready to leave. I’ll leave the money and hand back my contract,” De Zerbi told reporters post-match.
The former Brighton coach, who joined in June, emphasized his desire to see the same intensity at the Velodrome that he sees in training and away games but admitted he has struggled to inspire this level of performance at home.
De Zerbi highlighted the privilege of playing at the iconic Stade Velodrome and his passion for bringing his football ideas to life for the team and fans.
Marseille’s next fixture is an away match against eighth-placed Lens on November 23, where De Zerbi will hope to turn around the team’s fortunes.
