Monaco, which will face Galatasaray in the Champions League, announced that fans will hold a major protest due to the team's poor performance and their dissatisfaction with the management. The fan group Ultras Monaco 1994 is demanding the resignation of general manager Thiago Scuro and stated that they will stage a silence protest during the first 15 minutes of the match.
Things are not going well for Monaco, who will host Galatasaray this evening. The red-and-whites have managed only 1 victory in their last 5 matches in Ligue 1, deepening the crisis after losing 1-0 away to Brest last Friday.
Monaco, which started the season poorly, made a change in October by appointing Sebastien Pocognoli as the new head coach. However, the Belgian coach has also failed to meet expectations, and the team's performance has not improved.
GENERAL MANAGER THIAGO SCURO IS IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Monaco's position in 7th place, 11 points behind Ligue 1 leaders Lens, and 23rd place with 6 points in the Champions League has led frustrated fans to target the management.
The Ultras Monaco 1994 group demanded the resignation of general manager Thiago Scuro in a harsh statement:
- "It is clear that this finance-based model, rather than a sporting one, is not working."
- "The spirit of AS Monaco's beautiful game is not being respected."
- "The club is sinking, and sporting directors claim that everything is fine."
- "Mr. Scuro and his team do not have the legitimacy and competence required to manage this club."
Following this statement, tensions rose significantly within the Monaco camp.
PROTEST PLANNED FOR THE GALATASARAY MATCH
Ultras Monaco announced a striking action plan for the Galatasaray match to be played tonight. The fan group stated that:
- They will hang banners upside down,
- No choreography or entertainment will be performed as the players enter the field,
- And most strikingly: They will remain completely silent for the first 15 minutes of the match.
In the statement, the meaning of the protest was emphasized with the phrase, "Silence speaks for itself."
