Paul Mitchell will not go to Newcastle
“AS Monaco is pleased to announce the arrival of Paul Mitchell, 38, as Sporting Director. Under the direction of Oleg Petrov, Paul Mitchell will be in charge of all sports policy at AS Monaco, from the Academy to the professional group and the Cercle Bruges. Paul Mitchell was previously technical director of the football division of Red Bull, supervisor of the various clubs of the brand (Leipzig, New York, Bragentino), after having been responsible for the recruitment and development of RB Leipzig. ” In the summer of 2020, the Rocher club announced the arrival of a new sports director in person from Paul Mitchell. A great reinforcement for the club of the Principality and a leader who, since, flourishes fully in the south of France.
Proof of this is, recently approached with insistence by Newcastle, the native of Manchester, now 40 years old, cut short all negotiations. Maintaining very good relations with President Dmitry Rybolovlev and his Vice-President Oleg Petrov, Paul Mitchell does not wish to embark on a new challenge. In addition and symbol of his excellent work done with the Asemists, the main interested party is also closely followed by Manchester United, and this for several weeks. Desired by the Red Devils to perfect the sector of talent detection and recruitment, Mitchell, who has worked alongside Ralf Rangnick in the past, now at the head of the Mancunian team, therefore seems to be firmly attached to the Principality’s club. .
