AS Monaco are facing a disappointing end to their Ligue 1 campaign, as they are set to finish off the podium for the first time since 2023—and only the second time since the pandemic-disrupted season. After securing back-to-back UEFA Champions League berths, the Principality club will miss out on Europe's top competition next season, a significant step back for a team accustomed to competing at the highest level.

With just one game remaining in the league, Monaco still have a shot at qualifying for the UEFA Europa League, though their fate is no longer entirely in their own hands. Alternatively, they could land a spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League—or miss out on European football altogether, depending on the outcome of the Coupe de France final. It's a precarious position for a club that has prided itself on consistent continental participation.

This uncertainty has put head coach Sébastien Pocognoli's future under the microscope. According to L'Équipe, Monaco's board are considering whether to part ways with the manager at the end of the season. The team have managed just five points from their last five matches, and this poor run of form has raised serious questions about whether Pocognoli is the right leader to guide the club forward. With the summer transfer window approaching, the pressure is on to make a decision that could shape Monaco's trajectory for years to come.
