André Villas-Boas has been sacked by Marseille. In a dramatic press conference on Tuesday, the former Spurs manager offered to resign, further compounding the turmoil surrounding the Ligue 1 club. Villas-Boas said that the loan signing of Olivier Ntcham went against his wishes. ‘I submitted my resignation saying that I did not agree with the sporting policy,’ he said. I don’t want anything from OM. I don’t want money.’ Marseille later responded by giving the Portuguese coach the boot instead

What a set of balls by this man to come out publicly and say this
Would you be happy if a celtic dud that has previously declared his love for PSG was signed without your knowledge
This is how every manager should behave. Thank you Andre.
Fare play to him for sticking to his guns
São Paulo is waiting for you
My respect for Villas Boas :📈📈📈
My respect for Guardian for wrong title and Marseille :📉📉📉
Lolololol this is like something that happens in Fifa 13 🤣
I like you. You have balls. I like balls…
Wrong title…gives the wrong message!
This is called standing for yourself and I respect that
Finally a manager being honest and speaking out
"Being sacked" ?
Being sacked and resigned is 2 different things. Andre was resigned from the club not sacking by OM. Respect Andre…
Club signs a player the manager didn't want, he resigns and the club then thinks they can sack him. 🤣
Imagine being a coach and U have to Google search "Marseilles transfer window" like us fans to see whose coming to your club
resigned, not sacked
What do you mean sacked? He literally said he handed in his resignation…
He wasn't sacked!!
Fair play to him. Has his principles and the fact he wants money speaks volumes.
AVB ❤
Sacked? Anybody else see a problem with that?
Sensationalist title. Today’s media does anything and everything to get “clicks” 🤦🏻♂️. This is why people don’t believe in media and they are consuming less media information these days.
AVB clearly stated he resigned.
HUGE 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 for this 💩 news media outlet!!!
He's still unemployed
Straight up wrong translation (adding up things he didn’t say) at some points
