Jurgen Klinsmann (ex player) is my dream. I was willing to let Ranieri stay on but you cant lose to a team like that when there's so much at stake and you fielded a strong squad. I know the Coupe de France is more crazy than other countries cups but the bottom line is Monaco 130 M budget Guingamp 22 M budget. You missed an oppurtunity to hoist the cup losing to a team like that. No excuses.
If Raneiri can add some talented cb or two and a player in their mid that defends n another creative player they will do just fine. He needs one more season
That's stupid. And terrible for neutral fans of the sport. Bielsa plus a talented roster will equal special football. I would love to see him go to a bigger club. Like Manchester United or Inter or Barcelona.
None of those big clubs want him. Other than Marseille I think his other jobs offers are national teams jobs like Paraguay. Marseille's lucky to get him if he says yes, he wasnt even their first or second choice.
That's what I read. I hope he doesn't take it but I wouldn't be surprised if he did. I said I would like if he went to those clubs not that he will.
Well since Marseille doesnt have PSG or Monaco's money he will make them more competitive and the French league will be more interesting for us fans of it. I know he's good with young players but Marseille's youth academy is really bad so he and his crew are going to have to unearth some gems from abroad if they want to challenge for the top 3. Its going to be exciting to see what potential he can get out of Thauvin, Lamina, Imbula, and Mendy. Even Jordan Ayew who's been somewhat of a bust so far might flourish under him hopefully.
read it on twitter from a friend who knows people in Monaco. The board are not pleased with Ranieri and kinda disappointed Monaco atleast didn't make it to the final of one of the domestic cups. He's gone after the season is over, I just said official, cuz theres no way in hell he returns for next season.
Still not offical. Did you see the video of Falcao at the Monte Carlo Masters posing with Djokovic and Federer ? It was pretty cool.
Berbatov 8 goals in 13 games. You have to resign him and let someone go. Probably will be Riviere or keep him and Germain and loan out Martial to another club. Traoré didnt do anything at Everton and got injured so Im not sure what happens to him.
signing Berbatov was really smart move. This is what I like about Monaco, yes they have a lot of money but they are not buying like crazy, the fact that they bought James and Moutihno together and adding Toulalan was really really smart, those 3 knows how to defend, are great at passing (long and short) love to keep possession, are really smart players and obviously each one have their strength, James is more offensive while Toulalan is more defensively and moutinho is more balanced. If you add two speedsters (Carrasco- Ocampos) and a Killer up front like falcao and in this case Berbatov, you have a pretty darn good team Personally I feel like Ranieri haven't take advantage of their full potential
The only thing lacking now is a solid backline unit and depth. Depth is going to be HUGE if Monaco plans on making any sort of deep run in the CL. idk what their Youth Academy looks like nowadays, but if it was anything of years past then they should be able to pluck some talent out for quality depth. What will happen to Kondogbia??
Zidane might even be there as well... Anyway the club needs to grow its brand outside of France like everyone else is doing these days. They are way way behind the EPL teams and big well known clubs in that regard so its gonna take a long time to build up a decent sized fanbase around the world. Look at PSG how hard and long its taking them to do it.
Rumor of former Rennes general manager Pierre Dréossi becoming the new technical director. That post is vacant after the departure of Ricardo Pecini.
I thought they wanted a bigger name, someone who's more international like Leonardo at PSG before he left.
