(Reuters) - Olympique de Marseille manager Igor Tudor will vacate his role at the end of the season, the Ligue 1 club's president Pablo Longoria said on Thursday.
Marseille, who will play their last league game of the season at Ajaccio on Saturday, will finish third behind champions Paris St Germain and second-placed RC Lens.
"We have respected Igor Tudor's wish not to continue with the club. Now it's his turn to communicate. On a personal note, and on behalf of the club, I'd like to say thank you for the work you've done, with a great deal of respect," Longoria told reporters.
