Filipe Lu\u00eds replaces Sebastien Pocognoli, who was fired by Monaco last month following a disappointing end to the season with the team finishing the French league in seventh place.<\/p>\n

Monaco said that the 40-year-old Brazilian has signed a deal until June 2028. He left Flamengo in March.<\/p>\n

One of Filipe Lu\u00eds\u2019 big early tasks will be to keep Monaco\u2019s star players \u2014 Balogun and highly rated France attacking midfielder Maghnes Akliouche \u2014 at the club.<\/p>\n

Although Monaco came close to an upset when it lost 5-4 on aggregate to Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League playoff, the team faded in Ligue 1 and missed out on qualifying again for Europe\u2019s top competition. Instead, it will play in the Conference League playoffs next month.<\/p>\n

Pocognoli had joined in October<\/a> as a replacement for Adi H\u00fctter. He lost 13 of 38 games overall.<\/p>\n

Filipe Luis was previously in charge of Flamengo, where he won several major trophies including the Copa Libertadores in 2025. Monaco said that across two seasons leading Flamengo, he recorded 62 wins, 21 draws, and 16 defeats.<\/p>\n

As a player, the former left back was with Atletico Madrid, winning La Liga in 2014, the Copa del Rey in 2013, and two Europa League titles. He also played for Chelsea, winning the Premier League in 2015.<\/p>\n
