After the dismissal of Leonard Jardim, the post of Monaco coach can take one of five candidates identified by the club management: Faria, Gurvennec, Henri, Trezeguet and Wenger - reports France Football.
One of the main contenders is Rui Faria, who has no independent work experience, but the work at Jose Mourinho's headquarters in Leiria, Porto, Chelsea, Inter, Reale and Manchester United says a lot. And although the Portuguese started as a physical training coach, now he is clearly more than just a “physical instructor”.
Zhoslen Gurvennec made a name for himself while working with Gengam, and his not very successful experience with Bordeaux is more likely associated with the general crisis in which the club found itself, and not with the French coaching skills.
Coaching experience of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry is limited to the position of assistant Roberto Martinez in the Belgian team, but Monegasques believe in his pupil..
Another former Monaco forward, David Trezeguet, in the list of coaching achievements, only has a PRO category diploma, but this does not bother the club management.
After leaving Arsenal, Arsene Wenger has not yet decided on his future, and the Monegasques believe that the second coming as a coach of Monaco can be successful. The experience and charisma of Wenger may well help the team in the period of cardinal reconstruction..
