Benoît Pedretti (French pronunciation: [bənwa pɛdʁɛti]; born 12 November 1980) is a French midfielder who currently plays for AS Nancy Lorraine. He is a deep lying playmaker well known for his wide range of passing.
He started his professional career at Sochaux, and played there from 1999 to 2004. He then played for Marseille for one season. Following his brief stint with Marseille he joined Lyon before moving once again to Auxerre. His next destination was Lille. He has gained 22 caps for France.
Pedretti began his career at FC Sochaux-Montbéliard in 1999 in the club's youth system and in the same year, Pedretti played his first professional match. Sochaux finished the season in fourth place in the Division 2 missing out on promotion to the Ligue 1.
The following season, Pedretti, despite his inexperience, became a mainstay of the team taking part in all matches and thereby contributing to Sochaux's championship in the Division 2 in 2001.
He became a regular first team player in the 2002-2003 Ligue 1 season making 35 league appearances and scoring 3 goals. The team also had a strong cup run that year, reaching the final of the Coupe de la Ligue, but losing 4-1 to Monaco. Pedretti featured in the UEFA Cup with Sochaux the following year as they qualified for European football. However they struggled to make any significant impact on the competition.
Pedretti then moved to Olympique de Marseille for a transfer fee of €4.5 million in 2004. At Marseille, he found it difficult to cement his place in the starting line-up in a season marked by instability at the club with many players coming and going and coach José Anigo being replaced by Philippe Troussier during the season.
