Monaco appoint Hutter as new head coach

Adi Hutter has been appointed as Monaco's new head coach.

The 53-year-old has signed a two-year contract with the French club.

The former Austria international previously managed at RB Salzburg, Young Boys, Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Monchengladbach.

During his time at Frankfurt, Hutter led the side to the 2019 Europa League semi-final, where they lost to eventual winners Chelsea.

Hutter replaces Phillipe Clement, who was sacked at the end of the 2022/23 season after a disappointing campaign that saw Monaco finish in six place and three spots away from the European places.

Monaco director of football Thiago Scuro said: "We are very pleased to welcome Adi Hutter to AS Monaco.

"Over the last few years, Adi has proved himself in a number of different leagues, as well as on the continental stage. 

"This wealth of experience, combined with his leadership qualities and lively, forward-looking style, is exactly what we are looking for as we aim to take the first team to the next level."
