Sports journalist confirms Adolf Hütter is the new coach of AS Monaco

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Sports journalist confirms Adolf Hütter is the new coach of AS Monaco.

Monaco’s new head coach will be Adolf Hutter, according to L’Equipe.

According to the source, the Austrian specialist agreed with the club the terms of a personal contract. The presentation of the new coach will take place in the near future. As head coach of the Monegasques, Hütter will replace Philippe Clément, who was sacked on June 4.

Last season, Monaco finished sixth in the French championship and did not qualify for European competition.

Hütter, 53, has previously coached Red Bull Salzburg, Young Boys, Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Mönchengladbach.

His arrival is not necessarily surprising since he comes from the Red Bull galaxy, like Mitchell and his successor Thiago Scuro. After a career as a player exclusively focused on the national championship, with a notable stint at… Salzburg (1993-2000) and international selections, Hütter first trained the young people of the club, before recovering the professional team. for a season in 2014. If he was chosen, the name of Jesse Marsch, also a long-time resident of the group, had been mentioned. But the track of the former Leeds technician did not succeed.

Beyond the patronymic resemblance to the Nazi dictator, which the Austrian insisted on explaining, in 2018, by the will of his paternal grandmother, “Adi” is a follower of 3-5-2. He had also implemented this system when he was at the head of Borussia Mönchengladbach, his last experience on a bench, during the 2021-2022 season. In this sense, the Monegasques will have to understand a new scheme, since Clement alternated between 4-4-2 and el 4-2-3-1.

“We want continuity” claimed Paul Mitchell in an interview with L’Équipe after the announcement of the dismissal of the Belgian. A two-piston animation would have something to appeal to Caio Henrique and Vanderson, two interesting elements of the ASM locker room whose qualities were perhaps not fully exploited last season when they played in a four-defender scheme. The converging ideas of Philippe Clement and Adi Hütter on a game focused on attack certainly tend, in the eyes of the now former sports director, towards the famous “continuity” desired.
