Marcelo Bielsa does not expect a new contract offer from Marseille.

Bielsa transformed Marseille into title contenders in the first half of the season, but after racing clear at the top of the table they have faded and now sit fourth.

"I read that I was waiting for a proposal from Marseille and that the ball was in their court," he said. "I never said that. 

"The only thing I said was: 'I have not received a proposal from Marseille'.

"It's very different from saying 'I expect an offer from Marseille'. 

"I don't and have not received any offers."
