PARIS (Reuters) - Olympique de Marseille coach Andre Villas Boas has said he will not stay at the club if he is not given the means to make them competitive in the Champions League.
Marseille claimed a Champions League spot for the first time in seven years when they finished second in Ligue 1 as the season was ended with 10 games left amid the COVID-19 crisis."I don't want to just make up the numbers in the Champions League. It we're just here to make up the numbers, it's obviously no ," he told French radio RMC."The most important is whether the people who are with me, Andoni and Albert still have power or no."I feel good in Marseille.
"We don't have a big squad. We must think about the players whose contracts expire in 2021," he added, referring to goalkeeper Steve Mandanda, midfielders Florian Thauvin and Maxime Lopez, defender Jordan Amavi and forward Valere Germain. Marseille fell foul of UEFA's financial fair-play rules last year and in March the club was at risk of sanctions after failing to comply with a settlement.
