Filipe Luis has made club history at Monaco after leading the side to five consecutive victories since taking charge, with the latest success coming in a 2-1 comeback win over Paris Saint-Germain in the third round of Ligue 1.
The Brazilian coach is the first manager in Monaco’s history to win his opening five matches in all competitions, according to Actu Foot Stats. His team’s victory against Paris Saint-Germain extended a flawless start to his tenure and gave Monaco another significant result early in the Ligue 1 campaign.
Monaco have now won all three of their league matches so far this season. Their other two victories came in UEFA Conference League qualifying, meaning Luis has won every game since becoming the club’s head coach.
The triumph over Paris Saint-Germain was particularly notable because Monaco had to come from behind to secure the points. The match ended 2-1, completing the club’s run of five successive wins and establishing a new managerial record in the process.
Luis’ opening sequence has included success in both domestic competition and Europe. Monaco’s three victories in Ligue 1 have been complemented by two wins in the qualifying rounds of the Conference League, giving the team a perfect record across all competitions.
The result also leaves Monaco’s early league campaign unbeaten after three rounds. Their latest victory came against Paris Saint-Germain, one of the leading sides in French football, and ensured that Luis’ historic start continued.
According to Actu Foot Stats, no previous Monaco manager had won each of his first five matches across all competitions. Luis has therefore reached the milestone at the beginning of his time in charge, with the record set during a period that has already included both league fixtures and European qualifying matches.
Monaco’s next assignment will be away to Strasbourg in the fourth round of Ligue 1. The match is scheduled for 12 September and will begin at 18:15 Moscow time.
That fixture will give Luis the opportunity to extend his winning run beyond five matches. For now, his record remains unblemished: Monaco have collected three Ligue 1 victories and two wins in UEFA Conference League qualifying since the Brazilian took over as head coach.
