Chelsea Legend Makelele Departs Asteras Tripolis After Brief Stint

After several years away from coaching, Makelele has returned to the field with a strong start. His Greek club remains undefeated, with two draws and a victory in their most recent match against Athens Kallithea (1-3) on Sunday.

But currently 7th in the championship table, the Greek club are set to now lose Makelele after just weeks together.

Foot Mercato says the Frenchman, after less than a month in charge, is leaving. He had a deal with Asteras Tripolis to the end of the season.

But Makelele is now walking amid reports of interference from management over playing system and team selection. While grateful for the chance, Makelele is now resigning from the Greek club and returning to France.
