The former Juventus manager has been given the tough task of making the Principality club a force to be reckoned with and spoke about the start of the new campaign
Six games, four wins and one draw means that Ligue 2 side, AS Monaco are in second place in the standings and could well dream of making a return to Ligue 1 football. The club from the Principality has made a terrific start to the new campaign and are just
a point shy of Dijon FCO who they will play this Friday.
Now, AS Monaco is under the ownership of Russian Billionaire, Dmitry Rybolovlev, who managed to lure Italian coach, Claudio Ranieri to the Rock. And to the delight of the Russian, the shrewd tactician has restored order at a club that should never have been
playing Ligue 2 football.

While talking to L’Equipe, Ranieri gave his assessment of the club’s early season. According to the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 manager, the defeat against Le Havre does not raise any doubt on the club’s good form.
“This defeat does not put any doubt on the positive start of the early season. It is even better than I imagined, when so many things changed in the offseason.”
With a fabulous project entrusted to him, Ranieri is enjoying the pressure that has come with it. According to the Italian, pressure is something that you have to live with if you aspire to make a great team.
“Pressure, it is positive, it is fuel. If you want to be a great team, a great coach or a great player, you have to live with it.”
Argentine sensation, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-c22528 Ocampos played in the defeat against Le Havre and Ranieri praised the youngster for doing well under difficult circumstance.
‘He played very well. He still needs time because he is young.”
After managing so many teams during his time, Ranieri is hopeful of staying at Monaco for a long time. However, this could only happen if he satisfies the Russian owner.
