Monaco Parts Ways with Coach, Awaiting Filipe Luís

Monaco has officially announced the departure of head coach Sebastian Poccognoli following a disappointing end to the season.

Despite Monaco being close to an upset when they lost 4-5 on aggregate to Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League playoffs, Poccognoli's side faltered in Ligue 1, finishing seventh and missing out on qualification for next season's Champions League.

Poccognoli took over in October as Adi Hütter's replacement, signing a contract until June 2027. During his tenure, the team lost 13 of their 38 matches.

"The club wishes to thank Sebastian Poccognoli and his staff for their full commitment to Monaco and wishes them all the best," read a statement from the Principality club.

Former Brazilian international Filipe Luís, who achieved significant success with Flamengo, is expected to be named as Poccognoli's successor at Monaco.
