Sacked at the end of 2021 and replaced by Philippe Clément, Niko Kovac is no longer the coach of AS Monaco. A radical decision which was not necessarily to the taste of Prince Albert II of Monaco. Outstanding guest ofEuropean 1 Sport, the 63-year-old Monegasque sovereign indeed regretted the departure of the Croatian: “I think it was a little too hasty a decision”he first said before supporting his point.
“Normally, we take stock at the end of the season and not in the middle. I would surely have left Niko Kovac for a few more months and probably until the end of the season.. To conclude, however, he specifies that those around him have shown him “by several arguments that it was time to change (coach) because we were not in the objectives we had set at the start of the season”. Eighth in Ligue 1, AS Monaco will try in any case to reach the heights of the championship during this second half of the season, and this without the presence of the former Bayern coach, recently announced for Borussia Mönchengladbach. .
