Monaco CEO Thiago Scuro: Ligue 1 Standing Falls Short of Expectations
AS Monaco is currently facing challenges in Ligue 1, following a disappointing 4-1 loss to RC Lens. This defeat has left the club in sixth place, accumulating 20 points from 12 matches. With upcoming fixtures, competitors like RC Strasbourg Alsace, Stade Rennais, and OGC Nice could potentially outpace Monaco’s standing by the end of the game week.
Thiago Scuro’s Assessment of AS Monaco’s Season
Thiago Scuro, AS Monaco’s CEO, expressed his concerns regarding the team’s performance during a recent interview. He stated that the current league position falls short of the club’s expectations.
- League Position: 6th place
- Points: 20 from 12 matches
- Recent Loss: 4-1 defeat to RC Lens
- Upcoming Competitors: RC Strasbourg Alsace, Stade Rennais, OGC Nice
“When we look at where we are in the league, it is below our expectations,” Scuro commented. He acknowledged that several losses have placed Monaco in a tight race with teams in lower tiers, emphasizing a need for change in the team’s mindset.
Managerial Changes Impacting Team Dynamics
This season has seen significant changes for AS Monaco, including a managerial shift. Sébastien Pocognoli took over as head coach in mid-October, succeeding Adi Hutter. Despite the setbacks, Scuro remains optimistic about Pocognoli’s early influence.
“My opinion on his first month? It is very positive,” said Scuro. He appreciates Pocognoli’s clear communication and principles, which align with the club’s ambitions. Scuro believes that with time, the team will improve under Pocognoli’s leadership.
Looking Ahead: Monaco’s Ambition
AS Monaco aspires to elevate its position both in Ligue 1 and other competitions this season. The commitment from Scuro and the management reflects a determination to foster growth and competitiveness within the club.
