AS Monaco Reach Agreement to Appoint Filipe Luis as New Head Coach
AS Monaco have reached an agreement to appoint former Brazilian international Filipe Luis as their new head coach ahead of the 2026/27 season.
In what comes as a surprise move across European football, the Ligue 1 side have decided to hand the managerial role to the highly-rated tactician, with a two-year contract already agreed between both parties.
The deal was finalized following decisive negotiations led by Monaco sporting director Thiago Scuro, who has been instrumental in pushing the appointment forward. Filipe Luis is expected to officially replace current manager Pocognoli at the end of the ongoing campaign.
The former Atlético Madrid and Chelsea defender has rapidly gained recognition within football circles for his tactical intelligence and modern coaching philosophy. Despite being relatively new in management, Monaco believe the Brazilian possesses the qualities needed to guide the club into a new era.
Filipe Luis enjoyed a distinguished playing career, winning multiple domestic titles in Spain and representing Brazil on the international stage. Known for his leadership, composure, and deep understanding of the game during his playing days, Monaco are confident those traits will translate successfully into management.
The appointment signals Monaco’s ambition to continue building a competitive project capable of challenging both domestically and in European competitions. Club officials reportedly view Filipe Luis as a long-term figure who can develop young talent while implementing an attractive style of football.
An official announcement from AS Monaco is expected in the coming weeks as preparations begin for the 2026/27 season.
More details regarding Filipe Luis’ coaching staff and preseason plans are expected to follow soon.
