Mehdi Benatia is no longer the sporting director of Marseille. The Moroccan functionary informed the social authorities about his decision - the very next day after the incident with Strasbourg (2:2). This reinstatement was also suspended after the dismissal of head coach Roberto De Zerbi.

The great defender explained that he was working with the club with maximum commitment and was trying to turn the team into a leading position in French football.

"

Today we are still with the people. The exit from the Champions League is entirely successful, and we, as before, are fighting for victory in the French Cup,” said Benatia.

Earlier it became clear that Marseille does not plan to buy Pavard from Inter.
