The French club Olympique Marseille (Ligue 1) recently announced the appointment of former Moroccan international and captain of the Atlas Lions, Mehdi Benatia, as the club's new Football Director. This announcement was made on Wednesday, marking a new chapter in Benatia's association with the club.
Benatia had already been serving as a sports advisor since November 2023, and his new role as Football Director further strengthens his connection to the club, which is dear to his heart.
