Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master's degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
Sports advisor to OM for about a year, Medhi Benatia is however not under contract with the Marseille club since he is hired in the form of an external service, a bit like Luis Campos at PSG . However, OM would consider offering a contract to Benatia. But according to Thibaud Vézirian, this would change absolutely nothing.
About a year ago, theABOUT was experiencing a huge crisis which had precipitated the departure of several leaders including Javier Ribalta. To replace him, the Marseille club decided to hire Medhi Benatia, whose work has been widely praised since taking office, particularly in terms of recruitment. However, the former defender Juventus does not have a contract with theABOUT since he is engaged as a service provider, a bit like Luis Campos au PSG. According to information from THE TEAM, Pablo Longoria also wishes to change this situation by offering him an extension through a more traditional contract. But for Thibaud Vézirianit changes absolutely nothing.
“I don’t think we really care”
« Benatia’s extension? I don't think we really care. He is under an external service contract. An external service contract, you can be in contract or not, we can cut it whenever we want, wherever we want. It's a fixed-term contract. He can re-sign for 1 year, 6 months, 2 months, it doesn’t change anything », blurted out the journalist during a live broadcast on Twitchbefore continuing.
“These are completely useless things to comment on”
« It's like some people told me that Longoria's contract on the supervisory board ended on a certain date, you can extend it and end it 15 days later, that's not the problem. This is completely useless stuff to comment on. Fortunately he works with a contract, but he could very well, as a freelancer, work without a contract, invoicing every month, on an oral contract. It exists », added Thibaud Vézirian.
