Philippe Clement, the new Monaco coach officially presented this Wednesday at the La Turbie performance center, on the heights of the Principality, knows that he will have to perform very quickly to achieve the objectives of his management.
"I like this pressure," assured the one who signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the goal of qualifying the team for the next Champions League.
Arrived from Bruges with three assistants, Frédéric De Boever, specific goalkeeper trainer, Jonas Ivens, physical preparation specialist, and Johan Van Rumst, the coach says he wants to adapt to the group.
“You always have to adapt to the qualities of the players,” he explained.
But I want a dominant team, with commitment and a lot of desire.
Even if sometimes the opponent is stronger and you have to be smarter.

"New phase"
Paul Mitchell, sports director, and Oleg Petrov, vice-president and general manager, justified the arrival of Clement and the ousting of Niko Kovac, to whom they paid tribute, by a desire to "enter a new phase" of their project.
"The results were not in line with the potential, the ambition and the objectives planned this summer," said the first.
We analyzed the situation well and, together with the main shareholder [Dmitri Rybolovlev], we decided to change.
To continue our progress and meet our objectives.

Monaco, currently 6th in Ligue 1 but also qualified in the 8th finals of the Europa League and the Coupe de France, travels to Nantes on Sunday.
