AS Monaco is delighted to announce the appointment of Michael Emenalo as new sporting director. He will take charge of all sport matters, under the authority of Vadim Vasilyev.


The former international player from Nigeria, 52 years old, has previously managed this position in Chelsea, where he was a key member.


During his time in London, Chelsea won three Premier League titles, three FA Cups, the League Cup, Europa League and of course, the Champions League in 2012.
In this period, the club signed key players such as Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois and N’Golo Kanté.


Michael Emenalo also assisted in driving the technical programmes of Chelsea Academy and international network, building one of the best academies and leading the U19 to win two times in a row the Youth League (2015, 2016).


Vadim Vasilyev, AS Monaco Vice President :
“ I have been following Michael Emenalo’s work for a long time and I am very happy to have him here after he chose to quit Chelsea.
His know-how in scouting network, as well as the technical skills he developed working in one of the most successful clubs in the world in the past few years, are the main reasons leading us to present him our ambitious challenge.
Through this appointment, it is a further sign that we are ambitious and competitive in our model. ”


Michael Emenalo, new AS Monaco sporting director :
“ It’s a wonderful opportunity for me in such a high quality project.
AS Monaco has shown a great evolution in the past few seasons and I am convinced that the club will keep being successful.
Vadim Vasilyev convinced me to join AS Monaco and I believe this is the right choice for me after my decision to leave Chelsea.
I will work here with humility and try my best to bring my experience in this club which is a reference of French and European football.
