The rumors at the start of the week surrounding AS Monaco’s interest in Bruno Genesio did not encourage optimism. Without much surprise, the departure of Sébastien Pocognoli had already been confirmed. The fault lies with the end of the season which saw the Monegasques falter, to the point of having to settle for 7e place in Ligue 1 and qualification for the Europa Conference League.
The Principality club should quickly formalize its departure. And all the more so since, according to Fabrizio Romano, the leaders of ASM have already found their new coach. It will not be Bruno Genesio, close to joining Olympique de Marseille, but Filipe Luis, the former coach of Flamengo.
At only 40 years old, the former midfielder already enjoys a great reputation. Consequence of his very successful stint at the head of the Carioca team. In just three seasons, the former left-back, who notably spent time with La Coruna, Atletico Madrid and Chelsea before ending his career at Flamengo, has won no less than five trophies.
Five titles in three years with Flamengo
Winner of the Brazilian Cup in 2024, he went on to win the Brazilian Super Cup (2025), the Carioca championship (2025), the Brazilian championship (2025) and the Libertadores Cup (2025). And this before coming very close to bringing down PSG in the final of the Intercontinental Cup, their players only losing on penalties (1-1, 2-1 tab).
Thanked by his leaders at the beginning of March when his team had just won 8-0 in the semi-final second leg of the Carioca championship, Filipe Luis was targeted by Flamengo supporters.
