Filipe Luís, former Flamengo coach, is living a "dream start" in charge of Monaco, as defined by newspaper L'Equipe. The Brazilian coach has a 100% win rate at the beginning of this season, in second place in the French Championship, with two wins in two games, just one point behind Lille, which has one more game played.
Monaco also advanced through the Conference League playoffs and secured qualification for the league phase of the European competition. The Brazilian's work in Europe has earned praise from the French press, especially after the victory over Olympique de Marseille, when the team was praised by L'Equipe for its "dominance" over the opponent, in addition to "defensive solidity" and "imposing ball recovery."
Today, Filipe Luís faces his first big test in France. At 10:05 AM ET, at the Parc des Princes, Monaco faces PSG in the third round of the league. The match is particularly significant for the coach, as the Parisian club was responsible for the most painful defeat of his still brief managerial career.
