Despite six defeats and a ninth place in Ligue 1, Sébastien Pocognoli retains the confidence of his CEO. The Belgian coach must do without a key player until the end of the season.
The counter Sébastien Pocognoli has six defeats in the league. For a club like Monaco, ninth in Ligue 1, the results are disappointing and the Belgian coach is increasingly criticized.
Despite this bad patch, the club maintains its confidence. The CEO of AS Monaco broke the silence to support the Belgian coach and recalled that management believes in his project.
One more problem to deal with
As if that wasn’t enough, Monaco lost an important player last Saturday. During the 1-3 defeat against Olympique Lyonnais, Mohamed Salisu seriously injured his knee and had to leave the field.

The Ghanaian defender suffers from a ruptured cruciate ligament in his left knee. His season is over, a huge blow for the player. The defense is even more fragile.
A disaster for Pocognoli, who has to deal with a squad that is far from complete. The coach will have to come up with a backup solution.
