"Abdelatif Benazzi's mission within Montpellier Herault Rugby has ended," the statement read.

The former lock and back-row forward, who played for Agen before finishing his career at English side Saracens in 2003, joined Montpellier in 2015 after the exit of another former France player Fabien Galthie and the appointment of South African coach Jake White.

White will be replaced at the end of the season by New Zealand coach Vern Cotter.
