The future of Marcelo Bielsa at Marseille remains unclear, but the club's owner is keen for the Argentinian to stay on.
Marcelo Bielsa says he has been asked to continue as Marseille head coach by owner Margarita Louis-Dreyfus next season.
The Argentine coach's future at Stade Velodrome is in doubt, despite Marseille having provided a sustained challenge for the Ligue 1 title this season.
Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Bordeaux left Marseille a place and a point off third-place Monaco, who are in the final UEFA Champions League position.
Bielsa has previously been coy about his future beyond this term, with his contract including a termination clause after one year.
