Marseille suspend Andre Villas-Boas from head coach role

Marseille have confirmed that they have suspended manager Andre Villas-Boas through a statement on their official website.

Earlier today, the 43-year-old sensationally tended his resignation after the club signed Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham on loan when he was not interested in him.

Les Phoceens have now released a formal statement confirming that they have suspended the Portuguese from the head coach role with immediate effect.

The club added that his comments against general manager Pablo Longoria are ‘unacceptable’ and possible sanctions will be taken against him after disciplinary proceedings.

Sportlens view:

Marseille have been burdened by financial concerns and their league form has been dreadful of late with one point gained from four games.
