The new Performance Centre in La Turbie is currently in the final stages of construction .
After President Rybolovlev appointed Oleg Petrov as vice-president and then Paul Mitchell as sporting director , and Niko Kovač as head coach , the team went through a difficult period of adaptation , and then succeeded in an exceptional second half of the season , enabling them to find a way to the French Cup final and to finish the year in third place . With 51 points from 21 games , AS Monaco is the Big-5 team with the most points in 2021 , second only to Manchester City .
This third place — the sixth podium in eight seasons in the top flight since the arrival of President Dmitry Rybolovlev — allows the Monegasque team to qualify for the European Cup next season .
Opportunity knocks as the Club jockeys alongside the greatest Clubs playing for European glory . The past includes finals of the 1992 Cup Winners ’ Cup and the 2004 Champions League — fulfilling the Monegasque appetite to be at the pinnacle of Europe . This leaves an as yet unwritten chapter to complete the Club ’ s glory for all-time — glory at the top of Europe . That would be the ultimate historic achievement — winning the Europa League and ultimately winning the UEFA Cup . And having just qualified for the UEFA Cup competition after a successful podium finish in 2021 , the hunt for ultimate glory is on — History awaits .
