Ex-Chelsea boss AVB agrees Olympique Marseille terms

Former Chelsea and Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas has agreed a move to Olympique Marseille.

France Football says Villas-Boas and Marseille sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta have settled on a two-year deal worth £6.35million per season before tax.

The only detail left to be finalised is how many members of backroom staff Villas-Boas is allowed to bring with him.

The 41-year-old will earn slightly less than in his previous two roles.

He was said to be on £7.5m per year at Zenit Saint Petersburg, before leaving in 2016, and more than £10.5m while in China with Shanghai.
