OM has been parasitized by transfer shenanigans for too long. The future sporting director of the Marseille club wants to eradicate these questionable practices.
On November 30, 2023, Medhi Benatia was appointed to the position of sports advisor at
Marseille Olympic. The former central defender has done considerable work in favor of the Marseille club over the past year.

“There are too many personal interests in this club! There are perhaps people who have credits over 20 years, who are at OM, who see transfers of €15 or €20 million, it can go to their heads. I don’t agree to work with people like that,” he confided during a long interview given to Provence.
Benatia, change at OM is now
Medhi Benatia seems particularly determined to carry out this mission. “Maybe I won't win anything with OM, but I will have helped to clean it all up, to improve it,
he explains. Today, before even talking about the contract, I want to know if we can work correctly, if it is healthy, if we are sure that everyone wants to work in the interests of OM. »
After the end of his playing career, the native of Courcouronnes converted to a players' agent by setting up the Klan Soccer structure. According to radio information RMCthe former Bayern Munich player will soon be
promoted to sports director. He is preparing to sign a contract for a period of two and a half years, modeled on that of Roberto De Zerbi.
