• Ligue 1. Classification after the first round

The press room of the Louis II stadium served as the setting for the release of Robert Moreno as the new coach of Monaco. The coach, 42, posed with his new shirt, but also had to face some questions about his departure from the Spanish team and his controversial relationship with Luis Enrique. "I spent nine wonderful years at his side and I am only grateful," he said of the current coach.

"I have been a coach for 28 years, at 14 I started training, with 25 I got the UEFA Pro license and my dream was always to be first coach. Today that stage begins after the selection stage and I want to focus on that "he added about his precipitous dismissal at the end of November.

Accompanied by Vice President Oleg Petrov, Moreno also did not want to be "very respectful" with the work of Leonardo Jardim, relieved of the bench despite the good league streak of the team, which added 10 points in the last four days of Ligue 1.

The PSG as a reference

The seventh place in the standings, with the same points as Angers and Reims, does not seem enough for Dmitry Rybolovlev, the ambitious owner of the club. "I do not know Ligue 1 the same as the Spanish championship, I will not cheat, but I know a lot," admitted Moreno, who will have Cesc Fábregas, a regular substitute in the last games of Jardim.

"Strength, speed and transitions are very important in this championship. But I also know that the winner of the last two years has done it with a style that is based on the control of the game. It is a style similar to the one I want ", he revealed about the conquests of the PSG of Unai Emery and Thomas Tuchel.

Moreno, who has been committed until June 2022, is the third coach in less than a year at the Monegasque club, where Thierry Henry also failed last season.
