Sources claim that Monaco tried unsuccessfully to reach an agreement with German coach Edin Terzic, 42, who was previously in charge of Borussia Dortmund.
Instead, they are said to be turning to Union Saint-Gilloise's Pocognoli, 38, a former Belgian international who last season -- his only one as a first team head coach -- led his club to a first league title in 90 years.
