AS Monaco Considers Sacking Coach Adi Hütter Amid Title Chase Struggles

October 7, 2025, AS Monaco is reportedly exploring options to replace head coach Adi Hütter during the upcoming international break, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. Hütter, who signed a contract extension with the club until 2027 earlier this year, faces mounting pressure following a three-game winless streak, including a 2-2 draw against OGC Nice on October 5. Despite the team’s solid fifth-place standing in Ligue 1, just three points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain after seven matches, concerns over tactical stagnation and defensive vulnerabilities have surfaced, particularly in both domestic and UEFA Champions League play.

The Austrian manager’s tenure has been scrutinized after a challenging start to the European campaign, prompting Monaco’s management to consider a change. Former Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzić has emerged as a leading candidate to take over, with French outlet L'Équipe reporting intensified efforts to secure his services. Hütter’s potential dismissal comes as a surprise given his success in qualifying the team for the Champions League last season. The decision reflects the high expectations at Monaco, where the club aims to reclaim its status as a Ligue 1 contender, setting the stage for a pivotal managerial transition.
