Filipe Luis admits AS Monaco have work to do after Coventry loss
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
AS Monaco's head coach spoke candidly after a 2-0 pre-season defeat to Coventry City, addressing squad errors, transfer activity and European preparations.
A 2-0 defeat to Coventry City on Friday evening gave AS Monaco's head coach Filipe Luis plenty to reflect on during his post-match press conference. The Brazilian was direct in his assessment, acknowledging that the errors his side made are not acceptable at the level the club expects to compete this season.
Beyond the result itself, Luis used the occasion to touch on several pressing topics heading into the final stretch of pre-season. Transfer business remains active, with the squad still taking shape ahead of Monaco's return to European competition, and Luis made clear that additions may yet arrive before the window closes.
The coach also addressed the situation surrounding Paul Pogba, whose contract status has been a subject of speculation, though Luis offered no firm conclusion on the midfielder's future at the club. With their first European fixture now on the horizon, the performance at Coventry serves as a reminder of how much the side still needs to sharpen before competitive football begins.
