AS Monaco willing to pay €25,000 fine per game for Filipe Luís coaching role

AS Monaco is prepared to pay a €25,000 fine per match if Filipe Luís coaches the team. The Brazilian, aged 40, lacks the required coaching certification to lead Bayer Leverkusen. AS Monaco’s willingness to cover the penalty reflects their confidence in Luís’s managerial potential despite the licensing issue.

Bayer Leverkusen abandoned plans to appoint Luís as head coach due to his missing trainerspapieren. The German club confirmed the certification requirement blocked the move. AS Monaco’s gesture highlights their backing for Luís in a potential coaching role.

The fine applies for every match where Luís would act as head coach. AS Monaco’s willingness to absorb the cost underscores their priority in securing Luís’s services. The situation remains unresolved as licensing criteria remain unmet.

A club spokesperson confirmed the financial commitment to cover the fines. No timeline has been provided for Luís to obtain the necessary certification. AS Monaco’s board maintains full support for the potential appointment.
