Genesio targeted, Balogun named in USA World Cup squad

Genesio on Monaco's radar

Monaco have approached Bruno Genesio as a candidate to take over as manager, according to RMC Sport (3). The Paris FC boss is also on the shortlist at Marseille, so competition is real. Your club is clearly looking for a new direction after a season that fell short of Champions League expectations. Genesio's name carries weight in Ligue 1, and this is one to watch closely.

Balogun heading to the World Cup

Folarin Balogun has been named in the United States' final 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup, confirmed Tuesday (2). Your striker joins Christian Pulisic and Timothy Weah in the American setup. A World Cup on home soil, that is a massive stage for a Monaco player, and it speaks well of the club's profile on the global scene.

Academy delivers silverware

Monaco's U17 side picked up a trophy, with the academy reporting a victory this week (1). No details on the opponent or scoreline yet, but it is another reminder that La Diagonale keeps producing. After a senior season that left plenty to be desired, the pipeline underneath remains healthy.
