Journalist
After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial staff of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
Only a few weeks left before Mehdi Benatia's contract expires. Now a sports advisor to OM, the Moroccan should not stop working with the Marseille club any time soon. Indeed, it was explained that Benatia could soon sign a new contract and become sporting director of OM. A subject far from being that important according to Thibaud Vézirian.
A little over a year ago now, OM announced the reorganization of its sports division, notably with the arrival of Mehdi Benatia as a sports advisor. Since then, the Moroccan has shown how important he is, he who was at the origin of the big blows of the last summer transfer window. But now the future of Benatia found himself at the heart of the questions. In fact, his contract with theABOUT expires at the end of the year. What then? This is currently being resolved at Marseille. A new contract is reportedly about to be signed by Mehdi Benatiawho would at the same time become sports director.
A new contract for Benatia at OM?
On Twitch, Thibaud Vézirian was asked about this extension of Mehdi Benatia at theABOUT. He then explained: “ 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. 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 ».
“I work every day as if I was going to stay for 10 years”
Recently, during his appearance on RMC, Mehdi Benatia had spoken about his future toABOUT. Will it extend? Will not extend? The Moroccan then replied: “ Am I going to extend it even though I am at the end of my contract? If I have to continue working, I don't need to talk about a contract. I am here to work, to be at the service of the president, the coach, to attract the best players. You think I'm thinking about my contract at the moment… I'm thinking about Lens, about finding solutions. What I want is to work quietly. (…) I work every day as if I was going to stay 10 years. What I mean is that I would never be a problem for OM. The day I have to leave is thank you goodbye, I don't need anything. I just want to help this club grow. I live like that.” Let's see now in the weeks to come what will happen for Benatia's future, whether at OM or elsewhere ».
