It's the end after a transfer dispute.
The French first division side Olympique Marseille has split from coach André Villas-Boas after the Portuguese offered the club his resignation.
The reason is a player that Marseille brought to France against the wishes of his coach.
Villas-Boas had made it clear that he disagreed with the announced arrival of new signing Olivier Ntcham from Celtic Glasgow: "This is a player I said no to." He heard about the transfer from the media, criticized Villas -Boas.
"I submitted my resignation and said that I did not agree with the sporting direction," said the coach.
"I don't want any money, I just want to go."
The club made unacceptable remarks in a statement and even reserved sanctions against Villas-Boas.
"This decision has become inevitable given the recent repetition of actions and attitudes that seriously harm Olympique Marseille and its staff," the club wrote in the statement.
