AS Monaco's sporting director, Sebastien Pocognoli, has publicly expressed his support for the club's Senegalese internationals, Lamine Camara and Krepin Diatta. The comments follow Senegal's performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which concluded in February 2024, where the team was eliminated in the Round of 16.
Pocognoli, who oversees the club's youth academy, praised the players' mentality and commitment. "For me, they remain my champions," he was quoted as saying, highlighting their value to the club beyond the recent international tournament results. Both players are key figures for Monaco, with Diatta being a regular first-team winger and Camara a promising young midfielder.
The sporting director's remarks aim to bolster the players' confidence as they reintegrate into the club's campaign for the 2025-2026 season. Monaco currently competes in France's Ligue 1 and remains active in domestic cup competitions. The statement underscores the club's policy of supporting its international players through all phases of their careers.
