Andre Villas-Boas 'set to resign as Marseille manager' after sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta left the club, despite leading them back to the Champions League in his first season

Marseille manager Andre Villas-Boas is set to hand in his resignation on Friday after sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta left the club, according to reports.

The former Chelsea and Tottenham boss has only been at the Ligue 1 giants since the summer of 2019 and led them back to the Champions League in his first season in charge.

The decision to halt the French football season amid the coronavirus pandemic and the method used to devise a final Ligue 1 table ensured Marseille finished second behind Paris Saint-Germain and clinched a return to Europe's top table.
