Olympique de Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi has threatened to quit the Ligue 1 side after its dreadful run at home continued on Friday with a 3-1 loss to AJ Auxerre in a league match at the Stade Velodrome.
Marseille is second in the Ligue 1 standings but has won just one of five home games this season. It has lost its last two matches, conceding three goals in each.
“If I’m the problem, I’m ready to leave. I’ll leave the money and hand back my contract,” De Zerbi, who was appointed coach in June, told reporters after the most recent defeat.

“I came to Marseille for the Velodrome, to play at the Velodrome. And I can’t get the players to give here what I see in training and in away games. It’s my fault, it’s my responsibility.
“Playing at the Velodrome is a privilege. I want to be able to pass on to the people who work with me what I think about football. And I can’t do that.”
Marseille next travels to face eighth-placed RC Lens on Nov. 23.
