Marseille president Vincent Labrune is desperate for his side to appoint Andre Villas-Boas as the club's new coach in the summer.

Labrune believes Villas-Boas would be the perfect appointment for Marseille, who are currently bossed by sporting director Jose Anigo, filling in after the sacking of Elie Baup in December.
Villas-Boas himself was sacked in December, as Spurs showed him the door.
