Singled out since his arrival at Olympique de Marseille, Mehdi Benatia has made an impactful decision for the Marseille club’s season.
OM: Benatia’s strong choice
According to information from RMC Sport, it was Benatia who advised Pablo Longoria to separate from Gennaro Gattuso. But the former defender would not have stopped there. Benatia would also have pushed for the appointment of Jean-Louis Gasset as coach.
A real success for the moment, to the point that this decision will perhaps be seen as a turning point in the very chaotic season for Olympique de Marseille. Not spared by the supporters, Mehdi Benatia may have won points.
The wind is changing quickly on the Canebière. A few weeks ago, Mehdi Benatia confided to his friend Samir Nasri in an interview for Canal + that he would like to see Gennaro Gattuso sign up for the long term at Olympique de Marseille. A few days later, the Italian technician was dismissed following the club’s poor results. What was the influence of Benatia in this decision? In view of his public speech, some supporters had difficulty imagining the Moroccan being at the origin of this departure. His influence, however, would have been considerable.
