If there could still be some doubts about the future of André Villas-Boas in Marseille, the Portuguese came to clarify all that on Friday.
Necessarily questioned on this on the eve of the reception of Rennes at the Vélodrome, AVB was very clear: next June, he and OM will be history.
When asked if his departure at the end of the season was already recorded, he replied "of course, yes".
“With the position we're in, it's pretty normal.
It goes against what has been said by management, but I think that's going to be the end, yes, he said.
We all think it's going to be like this.
Nothing is happening with my agents and management.
We're 15 points off the top of the table, far from our goals for the start of the season, so I'm not questioning that.
Next year will be year zero for the club, it's going to be a total cleanup.
It will be necessary to recreate good bases for the continuation.
"
A season to end as best they can
Relaunched on the subject, the former FC Porto coach continued by explaining that “what is important is that I am well replaced to build the rest.
I never received an extension offer, it's January 29th, I think it's dead.
"
Until then, we will still have to save the furniture and try not to pass an Olympian house in full mess to his successor.
At the moment, OM are relegated to sixth place, far, far from the podium, nine points behind Lyon, third in L1.
