In response, the players approached management insisting they no longer want De Zerbi to take taining. The players have also told sports director Mehdi Benatia they do not want De Zerbi in charge for this weekend's clash with Toulouse tonight.

The controversy is occurring with talk in the background of AC Milan wanting to bring De Zerbi back to Italy this summer.

De Zerbi is a former Milan youth teamer.
