Jardim only returned in January after Thierry Henry\u2019s disastrous three months in charge. He steered them to safety last season, but the Principality club have struggled to get close to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/paris-saint-germain\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> and the Champions League places.<\/p>\n<p>Monaco sit ninth in the table and despite their terrific home form in recent months, their average performances and disappointing away results have cost Jardim his job. They are much improved on last season but clearly the gap between the Champions League places and their current league position isn\u2019t good enough for the Monaco hierarchy.<\/p>\n<p>They have a solid team in place and they can certainly achieve a top-four finish this season. Monaco will look to do business in January before the season resumes on January 10<sup>th<\/sup>. Their away form and performances have got to improve if they are going to challenge for a place in the Champions League.<\/p>\n<h3>Robert Moreno Announced as Monaco\u2019s New Manager<\/h3>\n<p>Following Leonardo Jardim\u2019s sacking, Monaco quickly confirmed former Spain manager Robert Moreno would replace Jardim in the Monaco dugout. Moreno has vast amounts of experience having worked under Luis Enrique at the likes of Roma, Celta Vigo, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barcelona<\/a> and the Spanish national team.<\/p>\n<p>Moreno is tasked with getting Monaco back into the Champions League and improve their general play and performances. He has agreed to a deal which runs until 2022. Moreno\u2019s first game is at home to PSG on January 12th.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"eBVy-CyGThJaHcKyGWMn9w\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1192087420\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'eBVy-CyGThJaHcKyGWMn9w',sig:'pIyctEZ9tWMWALmR3ihKyMVthKq1rGi5viSDaFh_7Vg=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1192087420',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monaco have sacked manager Leonardo Jardim after an inconsistent start to the season.
