[Football] De Zerbi offers to resign as Marseilles coach

[US Seagull]

OM will likely be playing in the CL next season, is he really going to give that up if Spurs don’t win the Europa League?

Might have no say in it if OM are fed up with him.

Is that likely with them currently 2nd?

 

[pigmanovich]

Is that likely with them currently 2nd?

Could still bottle the fight for second, only two points separate them from in form Strasbourg in sixth

 

[Eeyore]

RDZ and Tottenham Hotspur. Absolute box office. It may well be made up, but it's a beautiful partnership. He is so made for Spurs. I can see Netflix getting the on the wall offer ready. One season only.

 

[London Irish]

Well I’ll be very jealous of Spurs fans if he goes there

 

[nickjhs]

Can’t see RDZ getting on with Levy…

If they both get what they want (IE the squad and the results) they will find a way.

Yep, given the right conditions, the potential at Spuds outshines OM

There's a sensational amount of heavy lifting being done by "if" in that sentence.

 

[oldboyroy]

I reckon if spurs beat united and get that champions league spot, it'll be on (RDZ at spurs), although, a bit unfair on big Ange?

I've seen it asked a lot, but here goes again.
Top 5 spot, but not 1st or 2nd, in other words an also ran, a Newcastle or Chelsea, or even Forest who have lost out in the final games.
Or win the UEL and get a spot in the UCL?

Winning a title(be it Fa cup, league Cup Europa League is more prestigious than finishing 3rd 4th 5th in Premier league and therefore deserving a champions league place?

Same. Wish he was still here with our current squad. People love to slag him off due to his final few months, whilst completely overlooking our injury crisis. We had many weeks with a bench full of U21s and we were contending with Europe for the first time.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Apologies if fixtures, but didn't see anybody else bring it up. Probably BS:

De Zerbi lined up for Premier League return - 12 months after Brighton exit

Fabio Paratici has recommended Roberto De Zerbi to Tottenham Hotspur as a potential Ange Postecoglou replacement, talkSPORT understands. Former Brighton boss De Zerbi, now at Marseille in Ligue 1, …

Had me till Talksport

Can rule that out then

Clearly a bit of a marmite personality who can rub people the wrong way, and injuries or not he didn't shower himself in glory in the final months here, taking little pops at the club and refusing to acknowledge his own role in the long run of bad form. But I'll always be grateful for him taking us to Europe and the best season in our history.

The war chest was clearly available for summer 2024, but RDZ showed his attitude and Tony decided to entrust that money to someone else. I firmly believe that it was RDZ's behaviour that led to him leaving more so than the poor results. Maybe he'd have done better with this lot of players, but maybe it just wasnt worth dealing with such a difficult bloke.

They’ve got struggling Le Harve today and mid table Rennes at home as their last game.

Part of me thinks that would be a massive bottle if they messed up those games and part of me thinks those are exactly the sort of games Brighton do badly in no matter who our coach is.

 

[Doc Lynam]

Nope

Some will still moan and groan he had the audacity to want to compete in the Europa league and league by asking for a some help in the transfer window.
Comparing Fabian to RDZ is laughable ones a football manager.

 

[Flounce]

Much as RDZ pissed me off for much of last season I think him and Spurs would be a marriage made in heaven for however long it lasts before he turns stroppy again. He plays football the “Spurs” way and they have lost that style for decades. I’d quite like to see it happen

Did you think it was laughable the way we played Liverpool off the park at Anfield in a 45 minute display that was up there with anything we played under RDZ? One is a novice, the other an experienced manager, writing FH off as laughable whilst continuing to worship a manager who gave up is very harsh.

I don’t worship players or managers my good friend. I appreciate good footballers and managers who entertain me, we watch football and pay to be entertained right?
What is laughable is comparing 45 minutes of football in a game we ultimately lost to finishing top 6.
