Monaco Sack Leonardo Jardim After 10-Match Winless Run With Thierry Henry Favourite to Take Over

Monaco have announced that they have parted company with manager Leonardo Jardim after four years under his leadership, with former Arsenal and Barcelona striker Thierry Henry tipped to take over at the 2016/17 Ligue 1 winners.

Jardim took over in the summer of 2014 and three years later he secured a memorable Ligue 1 triumph as the Principality club were crowned title winners ahead of Paris Saint-Germain - the only side to do so in the last six years and their first league title since 1999/2000.

They also reached the semi finals of the Champions League that season but they were stripped of many key players that summer including Kylian Mbappe, Bernardo Silva and Benjamin Mendy.
