Marseille goalkeeper and captain Steve Mandanda said he had rejected a move to Turkish club Besiktas to stay with the Ligue 1 outfit.

Mandanda, 30, has a year left on his OM deal and had suggested he could seek a new challenge after eight years at the Stade Velodrome.

But the France international told TF1 he would not be moving with the club in flux following Marcelo Bielsa's shock resignation after the opening game of the season and Michel's appointment as coach.
