The Italian’s departure from the French club follows a 5-0 thrashing by Paris St-Germain and their recent exit from the Champions League following a 3-0 defeat at Club Brugge.
De Zerbi took over at Marseille in the summer of 2024 after leaving Brighton, where he spent just under two years in charge.
He led Marseille to second in Ligue 1 last season and leaves with the club fourth in the French top flight, 12 points behind leaders PSG.
“Olympique de Marseille and Roberto De Zerbi, coach of the first team, have announced the end of their collaboration by mutual agreement,” Marseille said in a statement.
“Following discussions between all stakeholders in the club’s management the owner, president, director of football, and coach it was decided to make a change at the helm of the first team.
“This was a difficult collective decision, taken after careful consideration in the best interests of the club, in order to respond to the sporting challenges of the end of the season.”-BBC
