The statement from the club in the capital of Ribat read as follows:

While thanking him for all that he has brought to our team throughout his illustrious career, we salute the great professionalism and extensive experience that characterized his work at the head of the technical staff, where he effectively contributed to the team's development and its competitive edge. He will forever remain one of the sons of Union, whom we are proud of and whose history is rich with achievements.

We affirm that the doors of the Union will always remain open to its son, Mr. Faouzi Benzarti.
