Another day in Marseille. Coach Andre Willash skunk Arrived today (Tuesday) for a routine press conference ahead of tomorrow’s league game against Lance, and surprisingly informed everyone who offered his resignation from the team in light of the fact that the club signed a player without his knowledge – Olivier Ancham from Celtic. Following this, the club suspended him and it is a permanent process in France according to dismissals. The candidate to replace him, as of this moment, is Rafa Benitez.
“I love Marseille but I’m a professional. When you want to bring me a player (Ancham) who has no resemblance to the characteristics of the player who left (Morgan Sanson) …”, the Portuguese told reporters. “It’s not a decision I made, I said ‘no’ to this player. I did not know about the signing and found out about it when I woke up and browsed the Marseille website. The management has not yet given me an answer. I do not want money, I just want to leave.”
By the way, according to reports in France, all the squad players watched the drama live during the lunch break, when only goalkeeper Steve Mandanda knew what to expect.
