Brazilian Filipe Luis has been named the new head coach of AS Monaco. The 40-year-old coach, who most recently managed Flamengo in his home country, signed a contract with the French Ligue 1 club on Monday, running until June 2028.

Last year, Filipe Luis led Flamengo to both the Brazilian league title and the Copa Libertadores triumph. He also featured with the team in last year's Club World Cup. The former Brazilian international defender, who previously played for Atletico Madrid and Chelsea, left the Flamengo bench in March and had been unattached since.

Monaco finished seventh in Ligue 1 last season and is set to participate in the Europa Conference League playoffs. The information was reported by the Associated Press.
