According to RMC Sport, the Spaniard declined the opportunity despite Marseille's interest in him following De Zerbi's exit. Alonso reportedly views the current situation at the club as unstable, particularly with sporting director Medhi Benatia also having departed.
Marseille continues their search for a new manager, with Habib Beye and Sérgio Conceição mentioned as potential candidates to replace De Zerbi, who had a successful debut season but saw momentum fade this year.
