Filipe Luís Appointed AS Monaco Head Coach Through 2028

Overview

• Monaco confirmed the signing of Filipe Luís on Monday with a contract running to June 2028 and named him to replace Sébastien Pocognoli.
• The coach completed two days of medical checks and is set to run his first on-field training session this Wednesday.
• Filipe Luís joins on the strength of a trophy-laden spell at Flamengo where he recorded 62 wins, won the Copa Libertadores, the Brazilian league and the Copa do Brasil, and was named Best South American Coach.
• Sporting director Thiago Scuro led negotiations and helped persuade Filipe Luís, who had also drawn interest from European clubs including Bayer Leverkusen.
• Monaco finished seventh in Ligue 1 last season and must go through the Conference League play-offs, so the appointment is framed as a sporting reset that could shape transfers, tactics and the club’s short-term European path.
