With a representative in 4 different groups (Juan Sartori, Club Vice President – Governance; Thiago Scuro, CEO – Men’s Football; Pascal de Maesschalck, Director of Young Player Development – Training; Luca Militti, Director of Strategy and Finance – Sustainability), AS Monaco is one of the most represented clubs. This presence is in addition to the recent election of Juan Sartori to the ECA’s Board of Directors, and will give the Rouge & Blanc club the opportunity to debate key issues concerning the future of the game and to participate in its development.
As stated by ECA : « Working Groups play a vital role in shaping ECA’s activities. They serve as a critical platform that brings together the different ECA Members to discuss and share information, exchange and update opinions, and develop and substantiate common positions so that the clubs speak as one voice. One of the core functions of these Working Groups is to provide recommendations and support to the ECA Board, ECA Executive Committee, and ECA Representatives in various stakeholder committees with transparency and engagement. »
