A former AS Monaco coach has taken the reins of the Russian team FC Sochi.

Former AS Monaco coach Robert Moreno should continue his career in Russia. The Iberian technician was named head of the Sochi team, bottom of the Russian league.

Monaco does not regret it

The Spaniard was Luis Enrique’s assistant at Barcelona, ​​Celta Vigo and Roma. This was before he stood out on his own, taking care of La Roja then AS Monaco. With a rather mixed record.

In the Principality, where he only stayed for seven months, Moreno posted a meager average of 1.38 points taken per game. Only Thierry Henry had done worse since the club’s rise to the elite.

On January 30, Sochi will travel to the Turkish city of Belek, located on the Mediterranean coast, where they will play several friendly matches against rivals such as Russians CSKA, Akhmat, Tyumen and Fákel, Bulgarians Slavia and Uzbeks Neftchi . On February 24, the Russian team will return to the Black Sea resort to prepare for the first match of the second phase of the Russian championship.
