Laurent Blanc has worked with Benzema in the French national team, reportedly his appointment as manager of Al Ittihad was a recommendation from Benzema. Laurent Blanc success with PSG proves that the coach has the ability to boost Al Ittihad performance which slumped last season. Previously, Al Ittihad had almost agreed to recruit Pioli, but a change in the position of the club's top officials meant that the agreement did not take place, and Laurent Blanc has now officially been appointed as the new manager.

Last season Al Ittihad failed to defend the trophy, and they were only able to finish in 5th place by collecting 54 points. Their performance last season was very poor, and Benzema failed to adapt smoothly in his first season. I think the competition for next season will increase, where Al Hilal and Al Nassr will be the two favorite teams to win, Al Ittihad must try to fix the chaos within the team, if they want to be involved in the competition. We'll see if Laurent Blanc is able to manage Al Ittihad well, his success with PSG is expected to be repeated with Al Ittihad next season.

Blanc is a good coach, and Benzema will definitely be more comfortable working with him, since they know each other well, at least one can assume that Benzema will not have any conflicts with the new coach. ) For Al-Ettihad to become more competitive, it is necessary not only to change the coach, it is also worth thinking about adding a few more good players to help Benzema, I think Blanc will do a good job on this, especially if he receives good funding. It looks like the Saudi League continues to develop.

Yes, the news is true because Benzema is having difficulty adapting to the Saudi League and he needs a coach who understands his playing patterns so that Benzema can find his rhythm again and at Al Ittihad he can appear as impressive as in the previous season and become a strong candidate again in the title race.
Laurent Blanc has good skills in the French League, especially at PSG, but his last performance with Lyon was less than satisfactory and now he has to accept an offer from the Al Ittihad club in the Saudi League. Hopefully he can be suitable in this League, especially there are French players like N 'Golo Kanté and Benzema they will definitely work well together.
