Marseille dismiss Eriksson report
Marseille sporting director Jose Anigo says reports linking former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson with the club are completely false.
Speculation has been rife that a mystery buyer is set to purchase the club and install Eriksson as coach.
But Anigo insists current coach Albert Emon will still be in charge after the winter break, adding: "It will not be Sven-Goran Eriksson, I can assure you.
"I have seen the rumours and I prefer to laugh at them."
Eriksson's agent Athole Still recently revealed that the Swede is in talks with three unnamed clubs.
Still added that he was hopeful of concluding negotiations in the new year.
The three interested parties were thought to be Marseille, Paris St Germain and a club in Qatar.
However, the Swede has also been linked with the national posts in Nigeria and the United States.
Eriksson, 58, has been out of work since quitting as England manager at the end of the 2006 World Cup.
