At least André Villas-Boas does not hide his plans. It is this concern for transparency that appeals to OM supporters and followers since its arrival last summer. If the Portuguese coach has finally decided to stay next season despite the departure of sports director Andoni Zubizarreta in May, he has no plans to make old bones on the Cannebière.

"If we take into account the four years during which I still see myself training, there is a year in Marseille, then a more exotic experience in Brazil or Japan," he told the Portuguese media on Saturday, then that he had just voted for the election of the president of FC Porto, club of which he has the socios card.

The Portuguese were more there to question him about the possibility that he would come back to coach President Pinto Da Costa's club - "not impossible, but difficult", he said - but his answer will ricochet the Marseillais. At least they know what to expect. The chances of AVB extending its contract, which ends in 2021, are thinner than ever.
