AS Monaco is reportedly exploring coaching changes, specifically seeking a successor for current manager Adi Hütter. This comes after the team’s recent 2-2 draw against Nice in the Côte d’Azur derby. Sources close to the situation indicate that the club’s president, Dimitry Rybolovlev, and general director, Thiago Scuro, believe Hütter is no longer the right person to lead the team.
Coaching Candidates Under Consideration
Adi Hütter, age 55, has been at the helm since July 2023. Despite currently being under contract until June 2027, discussions about his potential departure have intensified. The club is now in talks with various candidates to take over.
- Edin Terzic – The 42-year-old was previously the manager of Borussia Dortmund. He is regarded as the primary candidate for the role.
- Contract Status – Hütter’s assistants, Christian Peintinger and Klaus Schmidt, are also under contract until June 2027.
Adi Hütter’s Tenure at AS Monaco
Since taking charge, Hütter has had a mixed record. He has led the team in 93 matches, securing 49 wins, 18 draws, and 26 losses. His achievements include:
- Consistent qualification for the UEFA Champions League
- 2nd place in Ligue 1 for the 2023-2024 season
- 3rd place in Ligue 1 for the 2024-2025 season
During this current season, after seven matches, Monaco ranks 5th in Ligue 1 with 13 points. In Europe, they have garnered only one point from their two matches, with a draw against Manchester City and a heavy loss to Bruges.
Next Steps for AS Monaco
The club is not expected to announce changes immediately. Negotiations with potential candidates, including Terzic, will likely continue over the coming days. The team will resume training on Wednesday after taking a day off.
