Coach has to go
French report: Adi Hütter’s sacking is a done deal!
Adi Hütter is history at AS Monaco. As the French news agency AFP reports, the Austrian's successor has already been appointed in the person of Belgian Sebastien Pocognoli, who is still coach of Union Saint-Gilloise.
The separation is said to have been made by mutual agreement - even if there was no official confirmation from the club this evening. Hütter's assistants Christian Peintinger and Klaus Schmidt are also leaving the club.
Hütter had only extended his contract until 2027 at the beginning of the year. There are hardly any sporting reasons for his departure. Monaco are currently fifth in the French Ligue 1 table, just three points behind champions and leaders Paris Saint-Germain. Last season, Monaco finished third in the championship and qualified for the Champions League. In their previous appearances there, they lost 4-1 to Bruges and 2-2 to Manchester City.
"L'Equipe" reported that the club was reacting "after an average start to the season and an estrangement between the coach and the team that has persisted for several weeks".
49 wins in 93 games
Hütter had been at Monaco since July 2023, having previously worked in Germany for Eintracht Frankfurt and Mönchengladbach. "ASM" finished in the top three in Ligue 1 twice at the end of the two seasons under the 55-year-old and played in the Champions League on both occasions. Of the 93 competitive matches under Hütter, Monaco won 49 (26 defeats).
This means that only two Austrians are still head coaches in Europe's five major leagues. Oliver Glasner is in charge of Crystal Palace in England, while Christian Ilzer is at the helm of Hoffenheim in the German Bundesliga.
