According to Molina, Benatia is the new boss at OM

Medhi Benatia, new boss at OM: Revolution at the heart of the Vélodrome?

Hello team, things are stirring at the Commanderie! For the past few months, everyone has noticed that Medhi Benatia, who arrived in November 2023 as a sports advisor, has taken on an increasingly central role in the organization of our OM. Since January 2025, it's official: he is the sporting director. But what does this concretely change for us, Marseille supporters?

From Club Med to professional club: Benatia imposes his style

Let's not lie, before Benatia's arrival, some were saying that OM was somewhat operating in "Club Med" mode, with quite a bit of internal laxity. Does that ring a bell? Lately, it feels like there's been a real shake-up: a new staff, new methods, and above all, a level of demand that contrasts with what we saw before. According to Romain Molina, and we frankly agree with him on this, Benatia has become the true boss in terms of sports. Longoria remains president, but for everything related to the field, Benatia is the one who decides. What do you think about it? Was this change in tone necessary?

Risks, but a real project?

Be careful, not everything is rosy either. This kind of internal revolution ruffles feathers. Naturally, when you replace people and shake up habits, not everyone likes it. Some fear it might dampen the club's family atmosphere, others worry about long-term stability. However, perhaps this was needed to break the routine and get OM back on the track of competitiveness, right?

The transfer market under Benatia's eye: What ambitions for OM?

With Benatia at the helm, we can expect a much more targeted transfer market, don't you think? Fewer random moves, more coherence in recruitment. But will our new boss be able to handle the pressure and make the right choices, especially with the club's sometimes limited finances? We'll see if he can attract players that fit the Marseille DNA. Tell us, what profiles would you like to see come in this summer?

Your opinion matters: Benatia, real boss or future problem?

In the end, friends, it's also up to us to judge based on results. Benatia is cleaning house and making strong decisions, but the real question is: will it pay off on the field? Will he succeed where others have failed? We want your opinions in the comments: should we trust Benatia and his method? Or are you already fearing internal tensions? Let's discuss it together!
