The allegations, which suggest a deeply personal scandal involving the coach’s private life, have not been supported by any credible evidence or confirmed by official club sources. As of now, neither FC Metz nor Benoît Tavenot has made any public comment addressing the rumours.
Club insiders and reputable sports outlets have made no reference to such claims, and there is currently no indication that any disciplinary or legal issue exists involving the manager.
Tavenot, who took charge of FC Metz in early 2026, has been focused on stabilizing the team’s performance in a challenging season. His recent appearances have centered on tactical discussions and post-match analysis rather than any off-field controversies.
