Claude Makelele departs from Monaco technical director role

After five months in the role, Claude Makelele has left his position as Monaco's technical director.

Claude Makelele has departed his position as technical director of Monaco by mutual consent, the Ligue 1 club has confirmed.

"AS Monaco and Claude Makelele announced today the completion of their co-operation by mutual agreement," a statement read. "The club would like to thank the former French international for the work undertaken since his arrival. AS Monaco can only wish the best for Claude in his future endeavors."

The former France international was appointed in January, following a disappointing six-month spell in charge of Bastia in 2014.
