Monaco Begin Search for New Manager Following Poor Start
Monaco’s hierarchy have initiated the hunt for a new head coach in response to underwhelming results since the campaign’s outset. Adi Hütter, who has been at the helm since 2023, remains in charge, but speculation around his future has increased as the side’s progress stagnates.
Thiago Motta Turns Down Ligue 1 Opportunity
According to Fabrizio Romano, former Juventus manager Thiago Motta was approached to succeed Hütter at Monaco. However, Motta opted against accepting the proposal. Motta has been unattached since his March departure from Juventus and remains available for future opportunities, but will not be joining the Monegasques at this stage.

The team began with a 1-4 loss against Club Brugge before managing a 2-2 draw with Manchester City.
