Sounds like terrible decision making at the club, then. How did they manage to build a team that everybody wanted to copy? Was it just Jardel or just luck, or have something changed?
Thierry Henry replaces Jardim as Monaco manager | Replaced by err...Jardim
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Aye, he looks very under whelming. Diop and Badiashile look quality though.
Think their squad got stripped of Martial, Mbappe, Fabinho and maybe a couple others over the space of two seasons and the replacements haven't been anywhere near as good. Jardim also had a shocking start to the season which saw him sacked.
Was always going to be difficult for him. Was an odd decision to go there. They're a sinking ship.
My opinion is that it's a mix of Campos leaving and Jardim doing miracles. Campos leaving means that they lost his expertise in the transfer market and Jardim pulled miracles which seemingly gave the idea that he could turn duds into football players while also developing kids(16 to 18 years old players) quickly. Monaco did spend money but while the very young prospects look really good, the players that they brought to play immediately are for the most part bottom half players and that's where they found them too.
Monaco started the season with a lot of injuries and they were a lot better than they are today. The performances didn't match the results mainly because they lacked that little something that players like Jovetic, Sidibé and Lopes bring.
Apparently called one player's grandma a whore.

Ok, thanks for the info!
Getting eliminated from the cup at home vs a team from the lower division (albeit just two places separating them currently). Surely will be back at Sky within a couple of months?
Metz basically had their 2nd string out too. Just gets worse and worse for Monaco.
Is it something like 4 wins in 20?
No va va voom
Bernardo Silva, Mendy, Bakayoko etc. They really were ravaged.
Hope not he was the worst pundit by a mile so bland and boring yet still the highest paid .
Suppose we have another few quid added on to our subscription if Sky bring him back
Do it, you bastards. Pull the trigger. Twice to make sure.Tweet

Disaster. Monaco expected a Zidane there, got a Rafa Benitez.
I said earlier before somewhere in this thread, he'll be back pitchside for Sky, with Neville and co just in time for City's title celebrations in May.
Why would Jardim go back?
Also Henry rather than wasting away at the sky studios like Neville and being assistant at international level again like Nev should have just listened to Wenger and took the youth team job.
Day to day club running is totally different from seeing players once every few months.
He just made the same mistakes as Neville. He should have took up a youth team job but his TV career was too important.

It's a lot easier in the studio.
He's lost his Va Va Voom.
Imagine being so shit that your club decided it was better off with the manager they sacked 3 months ago. 
To be honest I never agreed with him much as a pundit either. Seemed to come out with some bizarre points of view.
Handle that, ye big p*ick.

So he is a shite manager and a shite pundit, who would have known?
Let it go, Kid.
Great player though has to be said.
Why is Monaco waiting so long to appoint a new manager? Things are even worse than before.
Worse than Neville at Valencia. Who'd have thunk? Steer clear of Sky Sports pundits seems a solid starting point for chairmen. Carragher must feel he's got a free swing at this stage.
Because he thought he'd get a load of offers from big clubs and only China, Qatar and UEA have approached him. Now he can look like a hero and save the day by going back.
Jardim got offers from Portugal and China. He just keeps refusing them.

Ha! You were right. Henry has always struck me as someone who can't really express what he means effectively. Also don't think his people skills are good at all.
And Henry is sacked!
Well done Cesc Fabregas
Well done Cesc Fabregas
Surprised it took this long. Monaco are absolutely dire.And Henry is sacked!
Well done Cesc Fabregas
This ended worse than anyone would have expected.
And at the same time he seems a bit vain while lacking any real charisma.
Magnificient footballer, though. Maybe he should just be an ambassador for Arsenal or something.
