AS Monaco's season ended in frustration. Beaten on the pitch of RC Strasbourg Alsace (5-4) on the 34th and final day of Ligue 1, the Monegasques finished in a disappointing 7th place, far from the ambitions declared at the beginning of the season.

This situation prompted a reaction from Daniel Riolo on the RMC radio program After Foot . The commentator drew a parallel between Sébastien Pocognoli and Habib Beye, arguing that the Belgian coach should be subject to the same level of scrutiny and criticism.

"Pocognoli took over the team much earlier than Beye in the season. He had more time than Beye, and the situation wasn't the same," Riolo said, before recalling the high ambitions of the Princely club, including qualification for the Champions League.

"Monaco, which has a similar budget to OM with the objective of the Champions League, can also aim for the Coupe de France, but what are we going to say about Monaco and Pocognoli? If Beye has been harassed from all sides, what should be done about Pocognoli?", he asks.

The journalist also made light of Monaco's European campaign after this disappointing season. Having qualified for a Conference League playoff, the club from the Principality could face relatively weak opponents as early as August. This prospect, according to Riolo, symbolizes the failure of Monaco's campaign despite a large squad and significant resources.

"Monaco finished 7th and will play a Conference League play-off against a team from the Faroe Islands. They will be playing against sheep in August. What are we supposed to say about Pocognoli when we should have practically shot Beye?", he asks.

This media appearance thus reignites the debate surrounding Pocognoli's record, whose future could quickly become a hot topic on the Rock.
