Xabi Alonso Rejects Coaching Olympique Marseille Due to Administrative Turmoil

Spanish coach Xabi Alonso has turned down an offer to take over the managerial position at Olympique Marseille, preferring to stay away from the role due to the unstable situation within the club.

According to RMC Sport, the Marseille management moved quickly to hire Alonso following the amicable departure of Roberto De Zerbi after a heavy defeat against Paris Saint-Germain by five goals to nil, but the Spanish coach immediately rejected the offer due to the administrative confusion the club is experiencing.
