Italian press reports, specifically from the newspaper “Tutto Mercato,” indicate that the former Moroccan international, Medhi Benatia Roma, is a candidate to take on a sports administrative position within the capital club of Italy in the near future.
This interest comes as the management of the Roman club seeks to restructure its sports apparatus, with Benatia’s name emerging as a strategic choice due to the accumulated expertise he has gained after retiring from playing, either through his current role as sporting director of the French club Olympique Marseille or through his extensive and intricate network of relationships in European football circles.
Benatia’s chances of returning to the Italian league have been strengthened thanks to the positive image and prestigious status he enjoys in “Calcio,” a status built through a successful professional career in which he defended the colors of major clubs such as Roma and Juventus, alongside his experience with German club Bayern Munich.
Medhi Benatia Roma is considered one of the sports figures who enjoys great respect in Italy, making him an ideal choice for this anticipated return.
This news comes at a time when Benatia has decided to leave his current position at Marseille at the end of the current season, which opens the door for upcoming administrative changes that may witness a reshuffling of positions within the Italian club, with the name of Frederic Massara also appearing in the current behind-the-scenes of the capital club.
The return of Medhi Benatia Roma to take on an administrative position is considered a qualitative addition to the club, benefiting from his vast experience in the world of European football.
