Bielsa bids adieu to Marseille

Marcelo Bielsa stunned French soccer on Saturday when he quit as coach of Marseille just minutes after his team lost its season opener 1-0 at home to Caen.

"I have resigned from my post as manager of Marseille," the Argentine announced at the end of his post-match media conference.

Bielsa, 60, has been linked to the Mexico national team manager's role in recent weeks, and Marseille looked every inch a side affected by the off-field uncertainty surrounding his future.
