A new adventure begins for Medhi Benatia, but not in a club this time. A little more than two months after his departure from OM, where he held the position of football director for a season and a half, the former player (39 years old) is returning to television and will join the Canal+ group of consultants.
The former central defender, trained at OM and notably with Bayern Munich then Juventus Turin, is not completely entering unfamiliar territory since he will collaborate with his friend Samir Nasri, whom he knew during his young years in Marseille. A duo that could ignite the debates during European evenings.
Medhi Benatia reunites with Samir Nasri
In the industry, Medhi Benatia is indeed known for his frankness. At the beginning of August, in an interview given to France Footballhe thus went backstage at the Marseille club, where
“mediocrity is unfortunately well entrenched”. Several times last season, he also smashed the Olympian players.
With him on the set of Channel Football Club or
Channel Champions Clubthe star presenter of the encrypted channel, Hervé Mathoux, is therefore guaranteed to have a response. This will undoubtedly also be the case with the other recruit announced Wednesday by Canal+, the former Morocco coach Walid Regragui.
