Mercato | Mercato – OM: Dismissal, extension… A clear trend for Villas-Boas!
Foot – Mercato – OM
Following OM’s defeat against RC Lens on Wednesday, many questions arise concerning the future of André Villas-Boas on the Marseille bench. What to expect for the Portuguese? Reply.
This Wednesday, theOM fell from a great height. After Nimes, it’s the RC Lens which brought down the Phocéens (0-1), pushing them a little more into the crisis. And in this storm, André Villas-Boas is not spared. Moreover, uncertainty hangs over his future at theOM. After the meeting, the Portuguese even revealed that he had already submitted his resignation a few years ago, a resignation that was refused by his management: “ What if I offered my resignation? Last week, yes, not today. My place is available to management. I remain at their disposal, no problem. I’m not here to be an obstacle, I want the best for OM “.
For the moment, André Villas-Boas has nothing to fear!
André Villas-Boas is therefore still on the benchOM currently and it should remain so despite the current storm. Indeed, on the Canebière, there would be no question of separating from the Portuguese. As explained Saber Desfarges for Telefoot La Chaine, Villas-Boas can always count on the support of Jacques-Henri Eyraud, as well as his cloakroom: ” The management of OM does not intend to lay off André Villas-Boas in the coming hours or days at all. He is not threatened at all. Villas-Boas still has the support of Jacques-Henri Eyraud, but also of his cloakroom. The players still enjoy working with Villas-Boas “.
“On the Marseille side, we hardly have any illusions …”
But what about the longer-term future ofAndré Villas-Boas ? Indeed, the coach of theOM is currently in his last year of contract and will therefore find himself free next June. Unless he prolongs by then … However, to believe the words of Saber Desfarges, we would be very far from it. And currently, for Villas-Boas, the trend would clearly be towards a free start at the end of the season: “ On the Marseille side, there is hardly any illusion about the renewal of its lease, as well because Villas-Boas may not have the will to extend “. Villas-Boas therefore should not extend with theOM. Moreover, at the beginning of the week, at a press conference, the Marseille coach had cast a cold on his case, dropping: ” Extend? I don’t know, now is not the time. Normally you need this type of thing to go on for quite a while, and it doesn’t. “.
