Monaco Names Sébastien Pocognoli Head Coach Through 2027

The former Union Saint-Gilloise boss arrives following Adi Hütter's exit to take over a side struggling defensively.

Overview

Monaco confirmed the 38-year-old's appointment on Saturday, a day after dismissing Adi Hütter, with a contract running until June 2027.
Pocognoli joins from Union Saint-Gilloise, where he won last season's Belgian title, the club's first championship in 90 years.
Monaco sits fifth in Ligue 1 after seven matches and has one point from two Champions League games, including a 4-1 defeat at Club Brugge.
The team has scored a league-high 16 goals but conceded 12, highlighting the defensive issues the new coach is tasked with solving.
Union Saint-Gilloise appointed David Hubert as Pocognoli's successor, with his debut set for Saturday against Charleroi before hosting Inter Milan in the Champions League.
