Crisis at OM. André Villas-Boas is on the start, according to information from RMC Sport. The Olympique de Marseille coach learned this Thursday of Andoni Zubizarreta’s departure, formalized this Thursday evening by the club. The Portuguese had always linked his future to the Spanish sports director. He therefore informed President Jacques-Henri Eyraud of his intention to leave office.
Hired in the summer of 2019 to take over from Rudi Garcia, “AVB” was very annoyed by the turn of events. He feared this outcome and the departure of Andoni Zubizarreta. Last week, in an interview with RMC Sport, the ex-manager of Chelsea and Tottenham confirmed that he was conditioning his future on retaining the sports director.
Players in anxiety
The coach allows himself twenty-four hours to act things out and discuss with Jacques-Henri Eyraud. The trend for this Thursday evening nevertheless leans towards a departure, even if no final decision has yet been announced by the main interested party.
OM players were also waiting for a sign from their coach for a final meeting before the holidays. They are monitoring the situation from a distance and have not had any news yet. All say they are convinced that he is in danger of leaving the club, under these conditions. André Villas-Boas has never been so close to leaving Marseille.
