This Is Weird Timing
Erik Gerets Resigns As Coach Of Marseille
The 54-year-old has just parted ways with the Ligue 1 club.
Olympique de Marseille head coach Erik Gerets has announced his decision to leave the club, according to French radio station RMC. The 54-year-old has guided les Phoceens to the summit of Ligue 1 this season, where they currently enjoy a five-point advantage over Girondins de Bordeaux.
Weird time for this to happen with Marseille on the verge of dethroning Lyon at the top of Lique 1. With Gerets contact coming due in June he must of been really upset with the state of contact negotiations to walk away so close to the end of the season.
