Thierry Henry has been sacked by Monaco, with the struggling Ligue 1 side confirming the return of the club's former head coach Leonardo Jardim.
Henry was suspended on Thursday and his sacking was confirmed 24 hours later, with Monaco facing Dijon in a relegation six-pointer on Saturday. Franck Passi will take charge for that game.
Monaco were already deep in trouble when Henry took charge in October but the club's former striker was unable to inspire a turnaround at Stade Louis II.
They exited the Champions League at the group stage and were knocked out of the Coupe de France at home by second-tier side Metz.
Henry's departure comes with the club a point and a place above the bottom of the Ligue 1 table, with Jardim sensationally returning to Monaco in a bid to save his former employers.
Monaco have signed Cesc Fabregas from Chelsea, the Spanish midfielder a former team-mate of Henry at Arsenal, as well as experienced defender Naldo from Schalke.
Jardim led Monaco to a shock title triumph in the 2016-17 season but his victorious side was then decimated by the sales of star players including Kylian Mbappe, Benjamin Mendy and Bernardo Silva, with Fabinho and Thomas Lemar having also since been sold.
