Rabat – Former Moroccan football player, Mehdi Benatia, is transitioning to be the sporting director of AS Roma, following his departure from Olympique de Marseille.
Italian media reports indicate that Benatia is a leading candidate especially at a time when the Italian club is considering structural changes to its sporting department after a disappointing season.
According to Tuttomercatoweb.com, Mehdi Benatia, who maintains a strong emotional bond with the club has already offered his services, leveraging his extensive European playing career and his recent administrative experience in Ligue 1.
Benatia enjoyed a standout 2013-2014 season with Roma, making 37 appearances and scoring 5 goals before his high-profile move to Bayern Munich.
Observers believe his intimate knowledge of the club’s culture and his fluency in Italian make him the ideal candidate to bridge the gap between management and the squad.
The former player will there face the challenge of rebuilding Roma’s roster for the upcoming season in a league known for its tactical complexity and intense fan pressure.
This news came just hours after Benatia officially announced the end of his path with Marseille, adding speculation that his next destination will be the Italian capital.
