LATEST NEWS FROM AS ROMA – Roberto De Zerbi chooses Rome. Not (yet) as a bench, but as a base for his Marseille’s decisive training camp. In fact, the Italian coach has decided to isolate the team ahead of the final sprint in Ligue 1, moving it to Italy, away from the pressures of the French environment.
A move that inevitably rekindles the spotlight on his future. De Zerbi has been approached in the past by Roma for the post-Ranieri era, and the decision to prepare the last four days of the championship on the doorstep of Trigoria sounds at least significant. According to reports in La Gazzetta dello Sport, the choice would be dictated by the desire to regain concentration and compactness, elements lost in a fluctuating but still open season: Marseille is second in the standings, but must defend itself against the assaults of Monaco and Lille to secure direct access to the next Champions League.
The chosen headquarters is the Cavalieri Hilton Hotel, with training set at Roma City Football Club’s modern facility, the Riano Athletic Center, a facility equipped with state-of-the-art pitches and infrastructure worthy of a European-level club. Marseille will remain in Italy to the bitter end, returning to France only on match eve.
De Zerbi, under contract until 2026, continues to gloss over the future, but his figure remains among the most talked about in the summer bench toto. And who knows if this Roman “outing” is not the antechamber of something more lasting.
