Gerets will leave Marseille

April 29th, 2009

Marseille coach Eric Gerets insists he will leave the club at the end of the season.

Gerets has helped move Marseille to the top of Ligue 1, but has had a poor relationship with club owner Robert Louis-Dreyfus.

The club owner wanted to wait until the summer to offer Gerets a new deal.

“Despite my work, there was a lack of gratitude and most of all a lack of trust,” Gerets.

“If I had been offered a new two-year contract with the same wage or a little bit more before the end of March, I would have signed immediately.

“He (Louis-Dreyfus) would have sent a strong message if he had told me as soon as January he wanted me to stay, while we were fourth in the league.”
