The Monegasques announced the start of their collaboration with Filipe Luís, with the Brazilian coach taking over the team for the next two years, through the summer of 2018.

The 41-year-old will be coaching in Europe for the first time, although as a player he spent most of his career there (Ajax, La Coruña, Atlético Madrid, Chelsea).
