French Ligue 1 club AS Monaco have confirmed the dismissal of their manager Leonardo Jardim due to the poor form of the club this season and on the Franch Ligue 1 table Monaco is third from bottom.

Jardim’s dismissal news potentially opens the way for Thierry Henry to become the French club’s next boss after their former striker was linked to the vacancy. Former France and Arsenal star Henry 41, began his career at Monaco and helped them win Ligue 1 in 1997.

Portuguese boss Jardim was appointed in 2014 and led the club to the French title in 2017, their first since 2000.

The 44-year-old also guided Monaco to the Champions League semi-finals in 2016-17 and helped develop players such as forward Kylian Mbappe, now at Paris St-Germain, Thomas Lemar, Benjamin Mendy among others.
