AS Monaco has officially announced the appointment of Philippe Luis as its new head coach, marking a significant change in leadership for the Ligue 1 club. The 40-year-old Brazilian tactician has signed a two-year contract that will keep him at the helm until June 2028, succeeding Sébastien Pocognoli, who was dismissed at the end of the 2025-26 season. Philippe Luis takes over a team that includes Russian midfielder Aleksandr Golovin, whose performances have been pivotal for Monaco in recent campaigns.
Philippe Luis arrives at Monaco with an impressive coaching pedigree, having most recently managed Flamengo in Brazil. During his tenure with the Rio de Janeiro-based club, he led the team to multiple domestic titles, including the Campeonato Brasileiro, the Copa do Brasil, and the Supercopa do Brasil. His greatest achievement, however, came in the form of the 2024 Copa Libertadores, where Flamengo emerged victorious under his guidance. Despite his success, Philippe Luis was unexpectedly released from Flamengo in March 2026, setting the stage for his move to European football.

The appointment signals Monaco’s ambition to return to the upper echelons of Ligue 1 and compete in continental competitions. With a blend of youth and experience in the squad, including the creative talents of Golovin, Philippe Luis will be tasked with instilling a winning mentality and tactical discipline. His experience as both a player and coach at the highest level is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the club’s approach, as they aim to challenge for domestic and European honors in the coming seasons.
