AS Monaco have confirmed the sacking of Thierry Henry and reappointed Leonardo Jardim 106 days after he was sacked by the club.


Jardim was replaced by Thierry Henry in October, but the former Arsenal striker lasted just 20 matches and won only four of them.

As a consequence of Henry's poor results, Jardim returns to a club who sit 19th in the Ligue 1 table and his primary task will be to avoid relegation.

Jardim has signed a two-and-a-half contract which ties him to Monaco until the summer of 2021.

A statement from the club read: "We approached Leonardo Jardim with a proposal to return to AS Monaco, where he had already achieved excellent results over the course of four seasons. We have signed a contract for two and a half years.

"The mistakes made during the summer transfer window were taken into account, and this winter we have worked more thoroughly to strengthen the team. We have worked hard, and, as you are aware, new players have already joined us. The winter transfer window is not over yet and further new signings should not be ruled out.

"We hope that it is not too late to address the situation. We do believe thatour players will gain momentum and that, together with Leonardo Jardim as the manager, ASM will be able to overcome this crisis."

MySportDab report Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev added: "Leonardo Jardim's time at AS Monaco, as I said when he departed, would be remembered as one of the brightest chapters in the club's history.

"Today we realise that the story of Leonardo Jardim at the club did not end as it was meant to. Leonardo should have been given an
opportunity to continue his job.

"Thierry Henry is a football legend but due to a very unfavourable mix of circumstances, including, above all, numerous injuries to our players, hampered him from quickly and effectively leading the team out of the crisis.

"I want to express my gratitude to Thierry Henry for accepting this challenge and trying to lead the team of his former club during such a difficult period."

Dis shld serve as a lesson to him.. Instead of going to a smaller club first to test d waters and hone his skills, he let his legendary status get to his head and he rushed into d spotlight with a big club with champions league ambitions. Every great coach started small and made their way to d top.. He had d opportunity of starting with Aston Villa in d championship or a couple of other smaller clubs but now he's started his coaching career with a sacking.
