The Croatian manager says he is "not a coach who stays off the field" and that he will try to develop a close bond with his new players
Niko Kovac has outlined his blueprint for success at Monaco, insisting "defences win titles".
Kovac replaced Robert Moreno in the Stade Louis II hot seat on July 19, committing to a three-year deal with the Ligue 1 outfit.
The 48-year-old had been out of work since being sacked by Bayern Munich in November 2019 following a poor start to the season. Kovac's reign at Allianz Arena only lasted 16 months, despite the fact he led the club to a domestic treble during his first full campaign at the helm.
