Holder of a Master's degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents' dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.

Pour Mehdi Benatia, De Zerbi accepted the proposal of theABOUT due to the enthusiasm of Marseille. “ What motivated him was what he said from the start, it was this Vélodrome side, this passion. When you know the character, he sticks to this city. He's love, football, passion, when he sees the team like that, he says to me: “Mehdi, if I'm the problem, don't hesitate, I don't need 'money “. I find that when we talk about a man, about responsibilities, he took his own. The trust we have in him, I don't need to talk about it. Having a coach like De Zerbi in Ligue 1 is exceptional. And we see it in the reaction of the players” confided the Marseille leader.

According to the current sports advisor of Pablo Longoriathe discussions were rather easy, despite the technician's pedigree. “I already had contact with Roberto. We were already in regular discussions. He has always been a coach that I adore. There was Manchester on him, I know that very well. From what he tells me, he liked the way he approached Pablo, the respect we showed him. We really showed him how important it was for us to go back with him. As soon as we knew he was going to cancel, we jumped at the chance. At first, I didn't really believe it and I told him. He already knew Pablo, it was easy” confided Benatia on RMC.
