"Pocognoli joins Monaco following a spell at Union Saint-Gilloise. He led the Belgian side to the top-flight title last term, and their maiden campaign in the Champions League. He holds the highest points-per-match average (2.12) among all Pro League coaches in the 21st century (to have overseen at least 50 matches), ahead of Philippe Clement (1.98) and Frank Vercauteren (1.94)."
"The former Belgium international guided Union SG to a memorable 3-1 victory in their Champions League opener against PSV, and leaves the reigning Belgian champions sitting atop of their domestic standings after 10 games. Pocognoli is set to take to the dugout for the first time when Monaco travel to Angers in Ligue 1 next Saturday, with the club having won just one of their last five games in all competitions, with that run resulting in Hutter's dismissal."
AS Monaco appointed Sebastien Pocognoli as head coach on a contract running until June 2027, replacing Adi Hutter. The 38-year-old Belgian joins from Union Saint-Gilloise after guiding them to the Pro League title and their maiden Champions League campaign. Pocognoli registered the highest points-per-match average (2.12) among Pro League coaches in the 21st century for those with at least 50 matches, ahead of Philippe Clement and Frank Vercauteren. He led Union SG to a 3-1 Champions League opening win over PSV and leaves the Belgian champions top after 10 games. Pocognoli will make his Monaco debut away at Angers next Saturday.
