One more game and then it was De Zerbi at Sassuolo it will close. After 3 seasons, the coach born in 1979 will leave Emilia to try a new professional experience. To confirm everything, the person directly interested in the post-match of the victorious away match in Parma took care of everything. Speaking to Sky Sport, De Zerbi admitted that he believed he could not “give more to his current team”. Where will his future be? The coach, barring sensational twists, will sit on the bench of Shakhtar Donetsk.
Now there are no more doubts: at the end of the season the roads of De Zerbi and Sassuolo will separate. The persistent rumors of recent months have found confirmation in the words of the coach who has already warned the leaders of Sassuolo and the locker room: “Before the match against Genoa I talked to the club and the players and told them that I decided to leave. It is a very painful choice because I am not happy, I do it mainly with my brain because I don’t think I can give of more to this team “.
But why did De Zerbi decide to leave Sassuolo? The coach is convinced that he has given everything possible to the Emilians: “I think we have reached the maximum – he added – and maybe if a coach with the same team comes he will be able to do better, it does not necessarily mean that it will only get worse. But after 3 years of my pounding management, always being as demanding as possible, also speaking with the club, because I will always remain grateful, even towards the players … I am a professional and I have to bring results. I think we have reached the pinnacle from all points of view , today entering the top 7 means climbing over the battleships, for two years being in eighth place like this … I don’t think I could have given this team more “. The agreement between De Zerbi and Shakhtar now seems to have been done until 2023. The formalization of the deal should arrive in a few weeks. The coach neither confirms nor denies: “I started considering other teams at the time I made this assessment“.
