“We learned the departure of coach Emilio Ferrera and his brother Manu, technical director (see Footnews: https://tinyurl.com/2s4j5ym8) on social networks, at the same time as everyone “, protests under the cover of anonymity an (important) player of the AEC Mons in Mons in The province (https://tinyurl.com/366jktd5).
“We are very unhappy! To the point of having refused to train on Monday morning. Not to protest against the new coach, but to send a strong signal, a message to a direction that has completely failed to respect ….”
“Some of us have signed here in Mons for the coach and the project that has lost all its visibility. Is the Challenger Pro League Challenger still at the center of the interests of the new management? Or have the investors relegated the fate of the Albert far behind their development of their Jamaican club (Mount Pleasant, editor’s note), as apparently at the next arrival of several Jamaican players within the nucleus?”
This will heat up, if the Jamaicans do not have the level!
“Anyway, if we believe that some of them get playing time without it being justified (which will most likely be the case, note), it is not a single training that we will cancel …”
“We have discussed at length with the new coach (the Dutchman George Boateng, editor’s note), telling him that we have absolutely nothing against him because there is nothing to do with it. He may even do excellent work, who knows? But updating the balance of the team at this point, changing coach and therefore system and philosophy to a week of the first day of championship also encourages us to believe that the new direction is no longer focused The results of Mons.
Who would have believed in such a reversal of the situation after the Belgian Cup match brilliantly won 4-1 against Harelbeke.
“Chapeau Emilio Ferrera!”
The eviction of Emilio Ferrera and the change of course tackled by the club go very badly within the locker room.
“Emilio was doing a great job, and he said to himself that he would have refused to start Jamaican players. Which would have been precisely displeased to the leaders. He left by defending us, his players, and really deserves respect …”, applauds this pillar of the locker room. “Hat ! ”
“What also applies to Hubert Lemaire (T2, an ex-physical preparer from Anderlecht who resigned in solidarity with Emilio and Manu Ferrera, editor’s note), moreover …”
“The leaders have spoiled everything!”
“Everything was gathered to live an extraordinary season and put Mons back in its place, within professional football”.
“But we now have the feeling that the leaders have spoiled everything, all ruined, and that the Mount Pleasant project now comes before everything else. But we, what we wanted, was the title, and nothing else …”, concludes at the height of frustration, a key player from the Montoise team who will engage the 2025-2026 ACFF season on Wednesday, August 27 (8:00 p.m.
