The reprieve seems to be finished for Adi Hütter. Despite a 5th place in Ligue 1, the start of the season of AS Monaco is deemed insufficient. Saws' teeth results, humiliating performance in the Champions League (against Bruges) and, above all, a worrying level of play would have sealed the fate of the Austrian coach. According to several concordant sources, the Monegasque management, which would have identified “A start to disconnect with the locker room”already activates behind the scenes to find a replacement for him. The international break could be the time chosen to formalize this change. Five names stand out to take up the torch.
Edin Terzić: the management favorite
His name is on everyone's lips and he has already “internal supporters” in Monaco, according to The team. Edin Terzić (42) has the ideal profile. Free since his departure from Borussia Dortmund in June 2024, he left a successful experience in which he led the German club in the final of the Champions League 2024. Young, modern and used to managing a high -level wardrobe, it perfectly corresponds to the criteria of the princely club. To date, he is the most credible candidate.
Thiago Motta: The Italian touch
He too is free and has a very high rating on the market. After his passage missed at Juventus de Turin, Thiago Motta (42 years old) awaits a new challenge. His experience as a player at PSG gives him a good knowledge of the requirements of French football and clubs with a strong ambition. His style of play, based on possession and tactical intelligence, could seduce a Monegasque direction in search of a clear identity for his team.
White quoted among the candidates to replace Hutter in Monaco.
Laurent Blanc: The experience and knowledge of Ligue 1
It is the track of the experience. Recently released by the Saudi club Al-Ittihad, Laurent Blanc (59) has the advantage of knowing the cogs of the Ligue 1. perfectly. His past at the head of PSG and the French team makes him a candidate for the solid CV, capable of managing the pressure of a club like Monaco. Its ability to develop young players and stabilize a team could be a precious asset for a club that needs to quickly find serenity and results.
Graham Potter: the English option
Recently dismissed by West Ham, Graham Potter (50) is one of the most famous English technicians of its generation for its modern tactical approach. If he comes out of mixed experiences in Chelsea and in the Hammers, his remarkable work in Brighton left a lasting imprint in the Premier League. Free and potentially eager to bounce back into an ambitious continental project, its name circulates as an interesting alternative, although less obvious than the previous ones.
Xavi Hernandez: the prestigious track
Its name is mentioned, but the track seems more distant. Free since his departure from FC Barcelona, Xavi Hernandez (44 years old) embodies an offensive and possession philosophy, which could correspond to AS Monaco's ambitions. However, no concrete approach has been confirmed, and his profile could be more inclined to wait for a project in a club where he would have full sporting powers. There remains a prestigious option, but probably not the most likely at this stage.
