Scuro admits failed season and promises overhaul at AS Monaco
By Laurent Duval, MonacoViews Editorial
AS Monaco's chief executive Thiago Scuro has spoken candidly after a 5-4 defeat at Strasbourg on the final day of the Ligue 1 season, signalling major changes ahead.
A bruising end to the campaign at the Stade de la Meinau on Sunday evening prompted AS Monaco's Director General Thiago Scuro to face the press in person. Speaking in French after a 5-4 defeat to Strasbourg on the last day of the Ligue 1 season, he did not attempt to soften his verdict, describing the season as a failure and confirming that significant structural changes are now on the table.
Scuro addressed several areas of concern, including the club's footballing project and the future of Damien Perrinelle, who has been closely associated with the sporting direction at the club. While he stopped short of announcing specific departures or appointments, his language left little ambiguity about the scale of the reset he intends to oversee during the summer.
For supporters and those who follow Monaco closely, Sunday's result was a painful full stop on a season that promised considerably more than it delivered. The Principality's club ends the campaign without a European place secured through league performance, raising real questions about recruitment, coaching direction and the broader ambitions set by the ownership group. Scuro's willingness to speak immediately after the final whistle suggests the reckoning at Fontvieille will not be long in coming.
