MONACO (AP) — Ligue 1 side Monaco fired coach Sébastien Pocognoli on Monday following a disappointing end to the season.
Although Monaco came close to an upset when it lost 5-4 on aggregate to Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League playoff, Pocognoli’s side faded in Ligue 1 and missed out on Champions League qualification for next season after placing seventh.
Pocognoli joined in October as a replacement for Adi Hütter and signed a deal until June 2027. He lost 13 of 38 games overall.
“The club wishes to thank Sébastien Pocognoli and his staff for their total commitment to Monaco, and wishes them all the best,” the club said in a statement. ___
