It is said that the Italian master coach Maurizio Sari has rejected the offer from Olympic Marseille.
Reporter Fabrizio Romano, who is well versed in the European football transfer market, said through his Twitter on the 3rd (hereinafter Korean time), “Director Sari definitely rejected Marseille’s proposal that day.”
Sari was one of the most influential figures of Marseille’s next coach, just a few hours ago. However, the possibility itself was uncertain.
Reporter Romano previously tweeted about the contact of Marseille’s manager Sari through a tweet, and explained that “Sari does not prefer to take on the team during the season. In the past, he has rejected the proposal for the same reason.”

Marseille is currently vacant for the managerial position. Coach Andre Villas-Boas, who has been leading the team since 2019, was suspended from the club that day. The official reason is that they criticized the club and expressed their gratitude in public standing.
At a press conference held on the 2nd, manager Villas-Boas said, “I don’t want any money from the Marseille club,” and “I don’t want money. I just want to leave. I’m waiting for the team’s reply.”
The reason he turned away from the club was the board’s arbitrary management of the club. Marseille recruited midfielder Olivier Eun-Cham from Celtic on the day of the transfer market deadline, which was done without manager Villas-Boaz’s knowledge.
Director Villas-Boas said, “(Euncham recruitment) was not my decision. I did nothing to decide on this recruitment. I knew through the report this morning that Euncham is coming.” It was a player who asked not to do so. It wasn’t on our recruitment list.”
In a statement on the day, the Marseille club virtually dismissed him, saying, “(Director Villas-Boaz’s remarks) are unacceptable. It is an act that causes serious harm to the club.” However, as a new manager had a hard time from the start, the second half of the season began to start uneasy.
Marseille remains in 9th place in the league with only 9 wins, 5 draws, 6 losses and 32 points during their 20 games in League 1 this season. In the UEFA Champions League group stage, he was eliminated from the bottom of Group C with 1-5.
