Marcelo Bielsa: 'My contract with Marseille is up at end of season'

Marseille manager Marcelo Bielsa refuses to commit his future to the club, stating that his contract is up at the end of the season.

Marseille manager Marcelo Bielsa has refused to confirm where his future lies, stating that his contract with the Ligue 1 club ends in the summer.

The Argentine is refusing to pledge his future to Marseille, despite his side currently sitting two points behind league leaders Lyon.

The 59-year-old's contract is reportedly up in July, contradicting initial reports that he signed a two-year deal last May.

"Such rumours are common during this time of the year. There is nothing new to say. I only speak of concrete facts and I will not confirm or deny this," Bielsa told reporters.

"All I can say is that both sides have agreed to this. As soon as the season ends, the contract ends.

"Will I stay at OM? I can't eliminate the possibility but I can't confirm it either."

Bielsa is reportedly being scouted by Japan to become their new head coach, once the manager's contract is up with Marseille.
