Olympique Marseille manager, Andre Villas-Boas, has reportedly tendered his resignation after the club went ahead and signed Olivier Ntcham against his wishes.
According to DPA Ntcham joined Marseille on loan until the end of the season from Celtic on deadline day Monday in spite of Villas-Boas saying he did not want the player.
The former Tottenham and Chelsea manager in the resignation letter cited a disagreement in Marseille’s sporting policy as the reason for his move.
“I submitted my resignation saying that I did not agree with the sporting policy. I don’t want anything from OM. I don’t want money,” he told a news conference on Tuesday.
“I’m waiting for an answer. It can be `no’ and then we will continue. I don’t want any money, I just want to leave.
“[Signing Ntcham was] a decision that was not taken by me, I learned of it this morning from the press. He is a player that I had said `no’ to. He was not on our list.
“The results – it’s my fault. I’m very upset. But if there’s something you cannot touch, it’s my professionalism. I cannot accept this. This club has already been through a couple of messy years in terms of transfers,” Villas-Boas said.
