AS Monaco suspends manager

Monaco have suspended head coach Thierry Henry until a final decision is made on his future.

The former Arsenal striker joined the club in October 2018 after the departure of his predecessor, Leonardo Jardim.

Henry has managed just five wins in all competitions in his three months in charge of the Ligue 1 team, who are in the relegation zone, two points from safety.

Henry is yet to win a home league game, with their last match at the Stade Louis II ending in an embarrassing 3-1 French Cup defeat to Ligue 2 side Metz.

Their previous game there resulted in a dreadful 5-1 league defeat to Strasbourg, meaning Monaco have not won at home since May last season.

Henry - who has won just two of his 12 Ligue 1 matches - was forced to apologise after their latest league defeat for insulting Strasbourg defender Kenny Lala.

Television cameras caught the Frenchman shouting abusive and insulting language at Lala as he delayed a throw-in with Strasbourg winning 2-1.

"Yes, I regret these words," the 1998 World Cup winner said. "It's not the first time," he said, adding: "Sometimes I do it in English.

"I just reacted, I'm sorry, yes, but I'm only human."

Henry's assistant Franck Passi - who had spells as caretaker boss of Marseille and Lille - will take training on Friday ahead of the home league match against Toulouse on Saturday 2 February.
