Despite Marseille's interest in the former Real Madrid coach, Alonso reportedly rejected the offer due to the unstable environment at the club. The Phocaean club is facing internal upheaval, notably the departure of sporting director Medhi Benatia, after De Zerbi's exit following a successful debut season that saw them finish second in Ligue 1.
Marseille's search for a new manager continues, with names like Habib Beye and Sérgio Conceição mentioned as potential candidates. The Spanish club remains wide open in their managerial hunt as they look to rebuild momentum after a challenging season.
