Oleg Petrov elected to LFP Board

AS Monaco’s Vice-President and CEO has been elected as the newest Board of Directors Member for the League of Football Professionals.
The General Assembly of the League of Football Professionals (LFP) recently selected the latest Board of Directors, and AS Monaco’s own Oleg Petrov was amongst them. Mr Petrov was named Vice-President and CEO of the club in February 2019.
“I am very happy to be part of the Board of Directors of the LFP, as a part of the representatives of Ligue 1 clubs,” said Mr Petrov. “I thank the club presidents for their confidence in me. This is of course an important moment for AS Monaco. I will do everything possible to help our league meet the challenges that arise, to work in the collective interest, and to continue the remarkable development the league has made in recent years and to contribute to the influence of Ligue 1 internationally.”
He will join the ranks with counterparts from other major clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain’s Nasser El Khelaïfi, Jean-Pierre Caillot of Stade de Reims, Jacques-Henri Eyraud from Olympique de Marseille, Loïc Féry of FC Lorient, FC Nantes’ Waldemar Kita, Laurent Nicollin from Montpellier HSC and Jean-Pierre Rivère of OGC Nice.
 
 
 

AS Monaco reveals heritage jersey

AS Monaco has unveiled a third jersey for this season with a design that shows off some of Monaco’s most iconic monuments.

AS Monaco pays tribute to some of the most enduring images of the Principality in their latest jersey for the 2020-21 season. A white shirt with red lettering on the top lead downward to what looks like an elegant picture postcard of Monaco imbued on the bottom two-thirds. 

The Place du Casino, Sainte Dévote Church, the statue of François Grimaldi, Stade Louis II, the Place du Palais Princier and the Notre Dame Immaculée Cathedral are all shown as a collage in a subtle illustration adorning the jersey.

Designed by Kappa, the jerseys are being marketed on the Red and Whites website with the caption, “Play the Monaco Cards”. The jersey is coupled with matching shorts and socks to complete the look. 

The team has updated its uniforms this year and has already revealed a new jersey with a diagonal stripe originally championed by Princess Grace, as well as new away kit in navy and yellow also featuring the diagonal stripe.
