Monaco has reportedly reached an agreement with Filipe Luís for the Brazilian to become the club's next head coach. According to Fabrizio Romano, the contract runs until June 2028, while L'Equipe claims it extends to 2030. This news comes as a surprise given recent rumors that the 40-year-old tactician was the primary candidate for the managerial role at Bayer Leverkusen. Besiktas also showed interest, and previously, the former defender had been linked with Chelsea.

Luís was unexpectedly released by Flamengo in early March following an 8-0 victory. This was his only coaching stint to date. During his time there, he secured numerous trophies, including the Copa Libertadores, the league title, and the Brazilian Cup.

Interestingly, Monaco's current coach, Sébastien Pocognoli, has not yet been officially relieved of his duties.
