Change of position in sight. On September 10, Steve Mandanda announced “Put an end” to his career as a professional player at the age of 40. A short -lived retirement since it only took him five days to get a new contract in football. But this time, no crampons or gloves for the most capped player in OM history.

“El Fenomeno” will rather put on the consultant costume with the Canal+channel, as announced by its X account. The 2018 world champion thus joins the large line of professional footballers passed by the encrypted channel, and will find his former teammate at Olympique de Marseille Samir Nasri with whom he shared the 2007/2008 season.

Steve Mandanda Absent for Real Madrid-OM

It will still be necessary to wait a little longer to benefit from the expertise of the former goalkeeper. Indeed, Steve Mandanda will not be present on the Canal+ set this Tuesday, when Olympique de Marseille will challenge Real Madrid on behalf of the first day of the Champions League.

With a coronation during the World Cup in 2018, a French championship won with Marseille in 2010 and 97 appearances in European cuts, its experience will be a major asset during the decrypts of the Marseille game. It remains to be seen what will be the results of his heart club.
