Monaco sack Austrian coach Addi Hutter | OneFootball

Victim of the poor results at the start of this season, the Austrian Adi Hutter was dismissed from his position as coach of Monaco, sources close to the Ligue 1 club confirmed to AFP this Thursday.

The 55-year-old coach and his assistants Christian Peintinger and Klaus Schmidt announced their departure to the players after Thursday's training session.

Monaco in the season

Monaco is currently in fifth place in Ligue 1, three points behind the leader PSG, after four wins and one draw in the first seven rounds of the French championship.

In the Champions League, Monaco lost in their debut to Brugge and drew 2-2 with Manchester City last week.

Possible replacements

Sources close to the matter reported that the Monegasque club failed in its attempt to hire the German Edin Terzic, former Borussia Dortmund coach, and now the name of the Belgian Sébastien Pocognoli is being considered for the position.

The former Belgian national team player is currently the coach of Union Saint-Gilloise, which also competes in the Champions League.

At 38 years old, Pocognoli managed to win the Belgian championship last season, his first as a coach, with Union Saint-Gilloise, the club's first title in 90 years.
