After a summer marked by numerous transfers, Olympique de Marseille seems to have found a balance that satisfies its president, Pablo Longoria. Among the personalities who have earned his trust, Mehdi Benatia particularly stands out. A former player of the club, Benatia returned last year to offer his know-how and his contacts.
This return to basics has allowed the former defender to forge strong links with Longoria, which could lead to a promotion within the club's organizational chart. Indeed, discussions are underway for Benatia to become sporting director of OM, a key position that he could occupy soon.
For the moment, Benatia occupies the position of advisor to the president, but his influence and commitment do not go unnoticed. With his current contract ending at the end of the season, a change in his role appears to be on the agenda.
In a recent interview with RMC, Mehdi Benatia said: “I will never be a problem for OM. I don't need anything, I just want to help this club grow, try to have real evenings. » These words show his attachment and his desire to contribute to the success of Marseille.
With this potential appointment, OM could strengthen its sporting strategy by relying on Benatia's experience and skills. The Marseille club, in the midst of reconstruction, seems to be banking on familiar figures to consolidate its position.
The future of Mehdi Benatia within Olympique de Marseille seems promising and demonstrates the confidence that Pablo Longoria places in him. The story between the club and the former Moroccan international is far from over and could experience a new chapter.
