Andre Villas-Boas will return as Marseille coach for next season, the club announced on Monday, despite widespread reports the Portuguese was set to leave after just one year in charge.
“After several discussions in recent days with Frank McCourt and Jacques-Henri Eyraud, Andre Villas-Boas has confirmed that he wants to continue working with OM next season,” the club told AFP.
Marseille, who are owned by American tycoon Frank McCourt, are therefore set to feature in the Champions League next season for the first time since 2013/14. “It seemed logical to us a month ago to give this money to the club to help it through a difficult period,” the fans wrote in a joint statement.
Spending since former Los Angeles Dodgers owner McCourt bought the club in 2016 has been way beyond the limits set out in UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules.
