Ligue 1 - Nantes - OM: Roberto De Zerbi, How Much Time Does He Need?
A Poor Start
Roberto De Zerbi has had a difficult start to his reign at Nantes. The Italian coach has overseen just two wins in his first 11 games in charge, leaving the Canaries languishing in 19th place in Ligue 1.
Nantes' poor form has been compounded by a lack of goals. They have scored just 10 times in their 11 league games under De Zerbi, with only bottom-of-the-table Angers scoring fewer.
Time Running Out
De Zerbi is under increasing pressure to turn things around at Nantes. The Canaries are now just two points above the relegation zone, and they face a tough run of fixtures in the coming weeks.
Nantes travel to face Lyon next weekend before hosting Marseille and Lens. They then face a trip to Paris Saint-Germain before the end of the month.
Can De Zerbi Turn Things Around?
It is still too early to say whether De Zerbi can turn things around at Nantes. However, the Italian coach has a proven track record of success at previous clubs, and he will be hoping to use his experience to help the Canaries avoid relegation.
Nantes fans will be hoping that De Zerbi can quickly find a solution to their goalscoring problems. If he can do that, then the Canaries have a chance of staying in Ligue 1.
