In this work, the analysis of the stacked projected temperature profile of 12 galaxy clusters of the X-COP sample is performed via the SuperModel, a tool for investigating the intracluster medium thermodynamic properties already tested on many clusters since 2009. Two separate fits have been carried out: to the joint X-ray and SZ-projected temperature profiles and to the X-ray data only. The entropy, thermal pressure, and hydrostatic mass profiles of the cluster sample and the level of the non-thermal pressure component in the cluster outskirts are determined combining the deprojected temperature profile with the stacked electron gas density profile corrected for clumpiness. The first analysis gives results in good agreement with those reported in Ghirardini et al.: a modest presence of the non-thermal support and an entropy profile that follows at distances beyond r₅₀₀ the predicted power law increase with slope 1.1. On the contrary, the results of the second analysis are consistent with the findings obtained by the Suzaku observations, steep temperature, and flat entropy profiles, with a higher level of the non-thermal pressure component in agreement with the values derived by numerical simulations. The conclusion is that a steep temperature profile could be present in the outskirts of the X-COP cluster sample instead of the flatter temperature profile reported by SZ observations.
