Internal tensions are simmering at Monaco after a disappointing season that ended with Europa Conference League qualification rather than the Champions League return the club craves. At the center of it is a Russian kinesiologist named Khetagov, imposed on the first-team staff by owner Dmitry Rybolovlev despite resistance from the sporting hierarchy (1). His mysterious presence and undefined role have reportedly unsettled the dressing room, adding to the frustration of a campaign that fell well short of expectations. With a squad transition already underway and left-back Nazinho arriving from Cercle Brugge for around €5 million, the off-pitch turbulence is an unwelcome distraction as the club tries to rebuild for the new season.
