Benzarti Explains Departure from Africain After Joining Al Ittihad

Tunisian coach Fawzi Benzarti confirmed that his departure from Club Africain was not due to technical reasons, but rather a result of not receiving his financial dues. This statement comes just days after he took over as head coach of Al-Ittihad in Libya.

Benzerti explained that the club management failed to pay his salaries and championship bonuses, emphasizing that it is his right to defend his rights and secure his family's future. He stated that these considerations were the main reason behind his decision to leave the team.

The veteran coach added that the management did not execute his technical vision, which was based on maintaining the core pillars of the team and enhancing them with new elements, emphasizing that he cannot be held responsible for results stemming from decisions he did not make.

Benzerti's comments have elicited widespread reactions among the fans of Club Africain, especially as they came right after his transfer to coach Al-Ittihad in Libya, at a time when his departure is still a topic of discussion within Tunisian sports circles.
