Another dramatic turn of events for OM! After announcing his resignation from his position as sports director on Sunday evening, Medhi Benatia was reinstated in the organization chart, at the request of Frank McCourt, with the added bonus of an extension of his powers. From now on, the Moroccan leader will pilot “
all sporting activities “. He will notably be responsible for choosing the future coach. For his part, Pablo Longoria saw his field of action reduced.
Yet another turnaround which is seriously beginning to exasperate Samir Nasri. “ As a Marseille player and a supporter of this club… they piss me off. Because every two days there is something new. They created this situation for themselves when there was no reason to get to that point. », castigated the former Marseillais on the set of the Canal Champions Club this Tuesday.
“ They still have a real possibility of winning the Coupe de France knowing that PSG is eliminated, Nasri continued. They are fourth, they are still on course to qualify directly for the Champions League. There is no longer a coach, the sports director who is submitting his resignation. Ultimately, the sports director remains, but it is the president who loses a little of his influence. »
Nasri: “I no longer know where I am”
And to conclude: “ Frankly, I don’t know where I am anymore. For me, it’s good news to have an organization chart in place, because otherwise, how are you going to finish the season? Already in the last match, against Strasbourg, when you looked at the staff, there weren’t enough people. Because everyone left with Roberto De Zerbi, there were seven deputies who left with him. There is no coach and OM’s recurring problem is stability. »
To replace Roberto De Zerbi, who decided to leave after the slap received against PSG (5-0), Medhi Benatia made Habib Beye his priority. A potential arrival which should be delayed, the former Senegalese international still not having settled his departure from Stade Rennais.
