Proud to See Folarin Balogun Shine on the Champions League Stage
I’m incredibly proud to see one of my long-term clients, Folarin Balogun, continuing to shine at the very highest level. Last week, Folarin scored the decisive goal in AS Monaco’s 1–0 win away to Bodø/Glimt in the Champions League, earning the Man of the Match award for a top-class performance.
I’ve worked with Folarin for a number of years now, and it’s been amazing to watch his journey — from a talented young player to one of Europe’s most exciting forwards. He’s always been dedicated, humble, and focused on improving every detail of his game.
That hard work showed once again in this performance. His movement, awareness, and composure in front of goal are a credit to the hours of individual work he’s put in on and off the training pitch.
As a coach, moments like this are what it’s all about — seeing a player you’ve worked with performing on the biggest stage and getting the recognition they deserve.
Well done, Folarin — I’m proud of everything you’ve achieved so far, and this is only the beginning.
