MONACO (AP) — French club Monaco hired Adi Hütter as its new coach on a two-year contract on Tuesday.
Hütter replaces Belgian coach Philippe Clement, who was fired last month after the club finished a disappointing sixth in the French league.
The 53-year-old Hütter is a former midfielder with the Austrian national team and previously coached Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Mönchengladbach in the German Bundesliga.
The Nashville Predators, defensive defenseman Ryan Graves and some top goaltenders are among the winners in NHL free agency.
All-NBA center Domantas Sabonis wasn’t a free agent this summer. And he won’t be for the next few summers, either.
Short contracts with some including performance bonuses were popular early in NHL free agency. Players and teams all know the salary cap that went up just $1 million for a second consecutive year is set for a much bigger leap next summer.
Formula One has announced that it has signed a three-year contract extension to keep the Austrian Grand Prix on the calendar until 2030.
Prior to that he guided Red Bull Salzburg to the Austrian league and cup double before leading Young Boys Bern to the Swiss league title in 2018.
“Over the last few years, Adi has proved himself in a number of different league,” Monaco’s sporting director Thiago Scuro said. “This wealth of experience combined with his leadership qualities and lively, forward-looking style, is exactly what we are looking for.”
