Villas-Boas suspended and set for Marseille sack following explosive press conference

Marseille have announced that Andre Villas-Boas has been suspended following comments critical of the club's transfer policy, with the Portuguese expected to be sacked following a disciplinary proceeding.

Villas-Boas sensationally offered to step down as Marseille's manager on Tuesday, saying the club decided to sign Olivier Ntcham from Celtic against his wishes.

"It's a decision that was not made by me. This is a player I said no to," the 43-year-old told a press conference.
