Deschamps happy at Marseille

Marseille coach Didier Deschamps has ruled out leaving the club at the end of the season.

Some reports had suggested France’s World Cup-winning captain could be tempted away from the Stade Velodrome when the campaign ends, but he insists he is already planning for another term with Marseille.

“I’ve already started planning for next year, because that’s my job,” the former Juventus manager said.

“All this speculation about who will move where makes me laugh. Today, I’m 100% at Marseille, and will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

“There’s really no reason for these rumours. I’ll draw my own conclusions at the end of the season depending on our position.”

Marseille are currently four points off the top of Ligue 1 following last night‘s hard-fought 1-0 win at Lens.

The relegation battlers hit the woodwork twice before Benoit Cheyrou won it for Marseille midway through the second half.
