Is the camel starting to overflow in Monaco? Tenth in Ligue 1 before its derby against Nice this Sunday (3 p.m.), Monegasque supporters are finding it increasingly difficult to digest the sporting policy led by Thiago Scuro. After calls for resignation in the stands, these materialized at the club’s training center this Saturday morning.
An inscription “Scuro clears” was notably found this Saturday morning on the walls of La Turbie. A rally was also organized, at 10:30 a.m., to demand, in unison, the resignation of the sports director. Which was however active on the winter market, attracting Wout Faes, already injured, and Simon Adingra.
A failed summer transfer window
But results are still struggling to arrive, while the Rock has won only one of its last six matches. If the club qualifies for the Champions League play-offs, the European adventure could also come to an end on the Rock, with a shock against the reigning European champion, PSG.
Above all, Scuro is paying for a missed summer transfer window. Eliesse Ben Seghir has left and Ansu Fati is still struggling to replace him. Paul Pogba’s return has so far been a failure, while Eric Dier and Lucas Hradecky have experienced poor form or injuries.
Despite everything, these tags were not unanimous on social networks. “We’re not fucking Marseille!” Tags no! Fumi singing protest yes but no Tag! Oh let’s respect ourselves, it’s not worth it,” wrote a supporter on X.
“The demands yes. Tags no. Let’s be respectful. We are Monaco”, supports another, joined by one of his followers who believes that “we are more basic class”. The Côte d’Azur derby, against Nice who are still ill but in recovery, promises to be hot.
