BREAKING NEWS:Marseille Sack Coach Andre Villas-Boas

A Marseille club statement reads:

“Olympique de Marseille announces the dismissal as a conservatory of André Villas-Boas.

“This protective decision has become inevitable given the recent repetition of actions and attitudes which are seriously damaging to the Marseille Olympic institution and its employees who defend it daily.

“The comments made today at a press conference with regard to Pablo Longoria, director general in charge of football, are unacceptable.

 “Its exceptional investment cannot be called into question and was on the contrary welcomed by all during this winter transfer window marked by an unprecedented crisis. Any sanctions will be taken against André Villas-Boas following a disciplinary procedure.”
