Report De Zerbi targeted by new Fiorentina chief Paratici
Roberto De Zerbi’s time at Olympique Marseille could be coming to an end, and new Fiorentina director Fabio Paratici reportedly wants to bring him back to Serie A.
There had already been rumours in France over the last few days that De Zerbi had handed in his resignation and asked to leave Marseille following their Champions League elimination.
That was seemingly rejected by the club, but the situation remains tense and the Italian is expected to walk away at the end of the season.
De Zerbi could return to Serie A
According to Calciomercato.it, new Fiorentina director Paratici has plans to bring De Zerbi back to Serie A at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
It would be from next term, assuming of course that current boss Paolo Vanoli manages to keep them in the top flight.
The Italian coach has not worked in Italy since leaving Sassuolo on 2021, having experiences abroad for Shakhtar Donetsk, Brighton and Hove Albion, and since 2024 at Olympique Marseille.
