AS Monaco shake up backroom staff after difficult season
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
A summer restructure at AS Monaco has seen staff departures and an expanded role for kinesiologist Vadim Khetagov following a disappointing 2025-26 campaign.
A summer of quiet but significant change is under way behind the scenes at AS Monaco, with the club following through on promises of structural reform made at the end of a difficult season. Several members of staff have been pushed out as the Stade Louis II outfit moves to reshape its backroom operation.
Among the clearest signs of the new direction is an enlarged remit for kinesiologist Vadim Khetagov, who is taking on greater responsibilities within the club's performance and medical structure. The precise scope of his expanded role has not been formally confirmed by the club, but the shift in internal hierarchy points to a broader rethink of how Monaco approaches player fitness and injury prevention.
The departures and reorganisation reflect pressure on the club's leadership to deliver a credible response to last season's underperformance. For supporters and observers in the Principality, the changes suggest that the overhaul extends well beyond the playing squad and into the operational fabric of the club itself.
