In an interview with Téléfoot, André Villas Boas explained why he rejected Marseille’s offer to renew his contract for three seasons and took the opportunity to dispel the myths related to the millionaire compensation he would have received when he left the command of Chelsea and Tottenham.
When I turned down the renewal, I told Frank McCourt [proprietário do Marselha]: ‘If I were another coach, I would accept the three-year contract you propose and I would be fired in two weeks. That’s not my style, ”said the 42-year-old Portuguese.
André Villas Boas went back in time and clarified.
“Everything that came out in the press, my departure from Chelsea, Tottenham, the amount I received … It’s not true. I never received that money. I made a deal with Tottenham because I wanted to leave the club ”, he clarified pulling the balls:“ I am the third coach with the most victories in Tottenham and I am the first in FC Porto and Zenit. And I hope to leave a mark in Marseille as well.
Completing his second season at Marseille and with a contract until the end of this season, he spoke of the conversations he has had with the owner of the club in the south of France.
“Anyway, we started another negotiation to continue … Well, it is not exactly a negotiation, but a discussion of the project,” said Villas Boas.
