OM: Benatia supports the arrival of Grégory Lorenzi as football director

The Olympique de Marseille is about to welcome Grégory Lorenzi as its new football director, a nomination validated by Medhi Benatia, the club's former sports director. This public support is a strong signal for the Marseille structure, which is seeking to strengthen its organization in view of its ambitions in Ligue 1 and European competitions.

A strategic choice to strengthen OM's sports management

Grégory Lorenzi, currently at Brest, is getting closer to Olympique de Marseille to take over as football director. According to But Football Club, this arrival aims to structure the sports management of OM in a more professional and efficient manner, long criticized for its instability in this area.

Medhi Benatia, who has held important positions within the Marseille management, has expressed a very positive opinion about Lorenzi. He believes that the latter has the necessary qualities to bring about a real and lasting sports project, with a clear vision and a keen sense of recruitment, two crucial elements in the club's current context.

Why is Lorenzi the ideal profile for Marseille?

Grégory Lorenzi's profile combines field experience and managerial skills, which meets a crucial need for OM. The Brest rigour and his in-depth knowledge of the French market are major assets for a club that wants to regain a stable place among the Ligue 1 elite and perform in the Champions League.

Benatia highlighted that Lorenzi's arrival could fill a gap in terms of coordination between the technical staff and management, a weakness often pointed out in recent years. Lorenzi's ability to unite the different actors around a coherent project is a key factor
