Present this Friday at a press conference before the match against Rennes, this Saturday at 9 p.m. as part of the 22nd day of L1, André Villas-Boas threw a stone in the pond.
"I think it will be the end": the Portuguese technician said Friday that he did not think of staying at Olympique de Marseille beyond the end of his contract, which expires at the end of the season, referring to " disastrous current results ”.

“Yes, I think it will be over in June.
I am not asking for anything, with our position.
It's normal.
I think that's going to be the end and I think we all agree, ”he explained.
Villas-Boas arrived in Marseille at the start of last season.
He qualified OM for the Champions League but the results are much worse this season, with elimination from the group stage in C1 and a sixth place in the league.
"I am responsible for the current results which are disastrous"

A possible contract extension had however been mentioned at the end of 2020 and the agents of Villas-Boas then met with the management of OM.
“I don't think it could happen.
We are 15 points from the best, an abysmal distance.
I already told you, next year will be “year zero” at OM.
There will be a total cleaning.
We must create a good basis for the future, ”said Villas-Boas.
“Even I am not waiting for that (a proposal for an extension, editor's note).
I am not a priority.
If we chain ten wins and I am offered an extension, then maybe.
But I am responsible for the current results which are disastrous.
Normally with this kind of results, it's rather the opposite way, ”said the former coach of Chelsea and Tottenham.
