Following the coach, the sporting director may also leave. Mehdi Benatia considers departure from Marseille
The crisis at Marseille has affected not only the coaching staff but also the club's management.
Details: According to insider Sacha Tavolieri, Marseille's sporting director Mehdi Benatia is seriously considering leaving at the end of the season. He is extremely disappointed with the current situation at the club and the lack of progress in sporting results.
Reports suggest he could resign this summer if the team doesn't show clear signs of recovery in the remainder of the league campaign. The constant pressure and uncertainty surrounding the club's future have taken a significant toll on the executive.
The journalist also notes that Benatia is unlikely to be out of work for long: his professionalism and deep market knowledge are highly valued in Serie A. Italian clubs are closely monitoring the situation in Marseille and are ready to make an offer to the Moroccan, whose playing and professional experience in Italy is seen as a major asset.
Reminder: Sérgio Conceição is on Marseille's shortlist: the Portuguese coach is ready to swap Saudi Arabia for the Vélodrome.
