AS Monaco has made Philippe Clement its priority to replace Niko Kovac as coach. Negotiations are underway with the coach of Club Brugge, and they are advancing quickly. An agreement is near.
Clement should sit on the Monaco bench
The announcement went off like a bomb Thursday night. As mentioned yesterday, Niko Kovac will be leaving AS Monaco. Dismissed by his management because of the unsatisfactory results and the disappointing game of his team, but also for his complicated relations with some members of the locker room, the Croatian will give up his place on the bench after only a year and a half spent on the Rock.
An agreement with Clement
While the dismissal of the Mongolian coach has still not been officially announced by the ASM, Mongolian leaders are already working on the arrival of his successor. And everything suggests that it will be Philippe Clement. At the head of a short-list also made up of Jesse Marsch, recently thanked by RB Leipzig, and Paulo Fonseca, free since leaving AS Roma at the end of the last exercise, the Belgian is very close to joining the League 1.
According to information from RMC, confirmed by L’Equipe, the Club Brugge coach is currently in advanced negotiations with the Principality club. The case is even going very well since a contractual agreement in principle has been reached between the two parties. There would only be final details to work out to finalize his contract.
Bruges will let go of its coach
Monaco must now come to an agreement with Club Brugge. Clement has expressed her desire to join the current 6th in L1 in her management, who will not retain a coach with whom she has a very good relationship at all costs. If there is still to agree on the financial elements, an agreement between the two clubs is on track, assures L’Equipe.
Lou for his offensive play, regardless of the opponent in front, and his ability to advance young people, Clement perfectly matches the profile of coach sought by the ASM to lead his project. If Kovac’s start may have been surprising, this arrival would represent a nice blow for Monaco. And, logically, bad news for Club Bruges …
