He spent his entire career as a player at his home club US Monastir without any achievements. His coaching career began and was only 29 years old, making it the youngest Tunisian coach at the time. He is considered one of the most successful coaches in Tunisia. He usually uses offensive play and a high-pressure plan as he is known for his toughness in training and his excessive anger towards his players and referees. During his managerial career, he was in charge of two national teams: the Tunisian[1] and Libyan national football teams, he was also close to signing with the Moroccan team in 2016 before appointing Hervé Renard.
Benzarti managed clubs in Tunisia, Morocco, Oman and United Arab Emirates. The most Tunisian clubs have won titles with him are Étoile du Sahel and Espérance de Tunis. Otherwise, His experiences in the Persian Gulf region were not successful. He achieved good results in Morocco, whether with Raja CA and Wydad Casablanca. Benzarti was chosen as the ninth best African coach of all time. His most important achievement was reaching the final of the 2013 FIFA Club World Cup with Raja CA.
Faouzi Benzarti was born on 3 January 1950 in the city of Monastir, central coast of Tunisia, into a sports family. He attended primary and secondary education in Monastir, then joined the Higher Institute of Sports of Tunis and graduated from it in 1975. He worked as a physical education teacher at many Tunisian institutes from 1975 to 1977, and after obtaining a football coach certificate he decided to devote himself entirely to training.
Prior to his coaching career, Benzerti developed his career as an attacking midfielder and spent his entire 10-year career in his home team US Monastir since he was 18 years old in 1968 to 1978. He did not play for the Tunisian team.
He began his career at Olympique Sidi Bouzid before returning to US Monastir, which he coached in 1979-1980, enabling him to return to Ligue I. In his first experience with Étoile du Sahel in the 1986-1987 season, he won the Tunisian league title and then the 1987 Tunisian Super Cup. In 1990 he coached and led the Club Africain in the same year to win the league title and reach the final of the 1990 African Cup Winners' Cup.

He also signed with CS Sfaxien in June 1996 but soon left before the season to play his first overseas experience at the head of the Emirati Club Al-Shaab CSC. It was not a successful experience as the team finished in seventh place in 1998–99 UAE Football League. Faouzi Benzarti returned to the Club Africain in 1999 and reached the final of the 1999 African Cup Winners' Cup. He made a brief pass as coach of Stade Tunisien in 2001 with unconvincing results.
He was appointed as coach of Espérance de Tunis in 2003 and won the 2002–03 Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1. He signed with Étoile du Sahel in April 2006 and achieved impressive results in winning the 2006–07 Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1, 2006 CAF Confederation Cup and obtaining the silver medal in the 2006 CAF Super Cup. After his involvement with Étoile du Sahel in 2006, Benzarti transferred to Espérance de Tunis in June 2007, but left soon after to manage the national team of Libya.
On 11 July 2007, he became the new head coach of the Libyan team. He led the team in their last match of 2008 African Cup of Nations qualification and drew with DR Congo (1–1) in Kinshasa.
After a series of friendly matches against Egypt, Zambia and Saudi Arabia, he began the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification with a 0–3 defeat by Ghana. But then he made a positive streak and was close to qualifying for the third round of qualification before being defeated against Gabon in the last game. Benzarti remained in charge of the Libyan side after a good performance in World Cup qualifiers but returned to Tunisia in March 2009 to coach Espérance.
After returning to Espérance de Tunis, he won the Tunisian League twice in 2009 and 2010 becoming the most winning coach of Tunisian Leagues, he won also the Arab Champions League for the same year and reached the final of the 2010 CAF Champions League but was defeated by TP Mazembe. Following the failure of the national team, under the leadership of Humberto Coelho, to qualify for the finals of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, he was removed from office on 18 November 2009 and replaced by Benzarti, who kept his duties at Espérance until November 2010, when his assistant Maher Kanzari replaced him. He coached the Tunisian team in the 2010 African Cup of Nations in Angola.
On 17 May 2011, Benzarti signed a two-year contract with Club Africain after one week the club sacked former coach Kais Yâakoubi. Accepting of the contract offered, he became a manager of the Club Africain for three times in his career.[2] and reached the final of 2011 CAF Confederation Cup.

He then did a short experience in the Persian Gulf region with Omani club Al-Shaab and Emirati club Sharjah FC with little achievements.
At the end of 2013, Benzarti joined the Moroccan champions, Raja Casablanca,[3] a week before the start of the 2013 FIFA Club World Cup. He managed to reach the final against Bayern Munich by defeating the champions of several continents like Atletico Mineiro where Brazilian Ronaldinho was playing, as well as CF Monterrey and Auckland City FC. Subsequently, he was decorated by King Mohammed VI of Morocco with the entire team.[4] In the local league, Benzarti gave Raja Casablanca a very offensive game, unlike his predecessor Mohamed Fakhir who preferred defense. Benzarti added its personal touch by imposing an offensive game with 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 formation, which sometimes involved the use of two advanced attackers. Result of this work, the team managed to beat his rival, Wydad Casablanca, at the Casablanca derby (2-0) and then defeated the leader of the championship (5-0), but the club finally bowed at the last day against the Olympic Club de Safi, being vice-champions of 2013–14 Botola at a point of the first rank. At the end of the season, Benzarti left the club for financial reasons.
On 12 August 2014, he took charge of Étoile du Sahel after the dismissal of Dragan Cvetković. In 2016, he was crowned champions of Tunisia with Étoile. He won the 2014-15 Tunisian Cup for the first time in his career and 2015 CAF Confederation Cup. Moreover, he reached the final of 2016 CAF Super Cup. However, a suspension was imposed on him following a violent clash with the Espérance de Tunis doctor during the quarterfinals of the Tunisian Cup, leading to his departure at the end of the year and his return to Espérance.[5]
In this period he won the Tunisian League for the second time in a row but with two different teams. During the same period, Espérance managed to win the 2017 Arab Club Championship title.
In December 2017, he decided to leave his position as coach of Espérance Sportive de Tunis.[6] Benzarti said he would not coach Tunisian clubs in the future after the elimination of Espérance from the quarter-final of 2017 CAF Champions League against Al Ahly.
The African Champion, Wydad Casablanca has signed a contract with Benzarti on 19 January 2018 for a year and a half after the bad start at the Moroccan League with Hussein Ammouta.[7] The team was able to win the 2018 CAF Super Cup[8] and was able to return the team to compete for the title before finishing second behind IR Tanger. The campaign to defend his title in 2018 CAF Champions League was also successful as they won Williamsville AC, AS Togo-Port and Horoya AC. But Benzarti suddenly resigned for coaching the Tunisian national team.

On 25 October 2019, Benzarti was appointed as coach of Libya on a six-month renewable contract,[13] following the first spell between 2007 and 2009.[14] Less than a month after taking office, the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification began and opened with a match against his country, where they were beaten 4–1 in Radès. four days later, he played his second match against Tanzania and won 2–1. Then the matches were postponed after the COVID-19 pandemic, and he left his post in May 2020.
