Monaco: The Rise of the Principality
First Season: i was appointed, to my surprise, Monaco was on League 2, but that issue didnt matter to me... i knew that with the new chairman i only had to focus in building a strong squad... so i got on the challenge
first half of season will be remembered forever, not because of our classy football but for being 16th on the second tier
obviously i was at verge of sack, the Prince were claiming my head dayly, and so all the monegasques... but then...
miracle came!!! i switched to a tactic that brought me up to 3rd position in the second half of season, and promotion!!!
thanks to koflok tactic, i just accomplished the mission... or at least part of it, i failed to win the league in Ligue 2, but miracolously, i got a new contract.
On second season Monaco was back at top flight... things havent been easy, but we managed to get 4th position, despite some painful draws and losses... koflok tactic showed a flaw that was already shown last season, but more clearly, most times we conceded...
but still we qualified for Europa League... the starting of Monegasque Rise!!!
Next season we put a stronger squad, and first half played with same koflok tactic, some tweaks made... and we were fighting within the top teams.
on second part of season we switched to a 4-5-1 a bit more stable... and managed to Win the league and Euro cup, but that wasnt without suffering, after a solid 3-0 win against spartak we fell for same margin in cold moscow... penalties saved all players from being executed in a wall...
Big success came in the following two season, Matox monegasque creature was Born... and Monaco became a solid rock that concede just half of goals that were conceding before, although scoring a little less...
that meant, winning the Euro Super Cup 2 times, Ligue 1 2 more times, 1 Coupe de la Ligue, 1 World Club Championship and most important... TWO CHAMPIONS LEAGUE IN A ROW... the first one, defeating Messi's and Neymar's Barcelona... the Second defeating Ajax on penalties after a very hard path to it, including another clash with Barcelona, winning 2-1... twice, despite being scored by messi and neymar respectively.
Now Monaco is:
Reigning 3 times champions of Ligue 1
Reigning Coupe de la Ligue Champions
Reigning World Champions
Reigning Two time Europe Champion
Reigning two time European Super Cup Champion
Won Coupe de France once
now looking to win the French Champions Trophy for first time at the coming pre-season, the only thing i havent won with Monaco yet...
and at start of other Season, Monaco moves to a bigger stadium in Monte-Carlo!!!
the prince dont want anymore my head... he's now thinking on crowning me his successor!!!!
and almost the whole population of the principality will fill my stadium each game.
