Falcao Bids Sacked Monaco Coach Jardim Farewell

Monaco forward Radamel Falcao has taken to his Twitter account to pay tribute to Leonardo Jardim, thanking the sacked head coach for “years of work, trust and success”.

Jardim was sacked with Monaco third from bottom of Ligue 1 and his departure brings a glittering four-year spell in charge to an end.

The 44-year-old took charge of the club in June 2014 and achieved back-to-back third-place finishes in Ligue 1 before guiding them to a first title in 17 years in 2016-17.

Falcao, who was part of that title-winning side, scoring 21 league goals that season, posted a tribute to Jardim on his Twitter account.

“Thank you very much for these years of work, trust and success,” Falcao wrote.

“It has been an honour to work under your leadership.

“I pay homage to your professionalism during all these years at the club and I wish you the best in the new projects that are available to you.”
