Olympique Marseille have a new coach. The Ligue 1 club has signed Italian Roberto De Zerbi.

It may come as a surprise that the 45-year-old De Zerbi has opted for a job in the top French league. Most recently, he worked for Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League.

After announcing his departure there, De Zerbi was courted by Bayern Munich, Juventus Turin and Manchester United.

Olympique Marseille finished last season in 8th place in Ligue 1.
