A good knowledge of Ligue 1

My mission will now be to continue to develop the team, and above all to bring AS Monaco back to Europe and to the top table. All players and employees must be focused on this objective. We know that in football it takes hard work, and my task will be to convince everyone that it’s possible!”

It’s an opinion shared by the new coach of the Rouge et Blanc, whose appointment he justified in view of his career. “My history confirms it, I have always had a long relationship with my coaches. The goal for me is also to establish a certain stability. Adi is a ‘team player’, capable of being a leader for the staff and the players. We have very good collaborators here at AS Monaco, and he is the best to carry out this collective project. At his various clubs, he has always been successful and has shown his qualities,” he added. , referring among other things to the titles he won in Salzburg and Bern.
A dynamic and aggressive style of play
Before evoking the exciting style of play advocated by the Austrian technician in his previous experiences, including his most recent ones in Frankfurt and Mönchengladbach: “Adi plays aggressive, dynamic and exciting football, with constant pressure on the opponent. Our objective once again is to find success, and that will come through this philosophy. We want to impose this style of play over time.”
A message from “coach Adi” to the supporters
Already “accomplices,” even if they had not had the opportunity to meet within the Red Bull group, the two men then headed to the rooftop of the Performance Center to pose in front of photographers. By the way, Adi Hütter did not fail to complete his first press conference with a “DAGHE MUNEGU 🇲🇨” addressed to the supporters of AS Monaco.
