MONACO have sacked Sporting Director Michael Emenalo following the dismissal of manager Thierry Henry.
The Ligue 1 club terminated the contract of the Arsenal legend just 20 games into his reign at the French side.

Michael Emenalo has been sacked by Monaco after just over a year
Henry won just two league matches following his appointment in October, but still believes he has left Monaco in a better shape.
And he has been joined out the door by Chelsea’s former Technical Director Emenalo.
The 53-year-old moved to Monaco in November 2017, but has had the axe wielded on him after just over a year.
Emenalo – who featured for Nigeria at the 1994 World Cup – reportedly fell out with the club’s vice president Vadim Vasilyev.

The Russian has been left unconvinced by a number of his signings, with the club bringing in Cesc Fabregas, Nacer Chadli, Naldo and Fode Ballo-Toure this season.
While it has also been claimed that Emenalo endured a sour relationship with Leonardo Jardim, who the club have re-appointed.
Another person who could be set to leave the Red and Whites is midfield maestro Youri Tielemans, with Leicester reportedly keen on nabbing him for £20million.
The 21-year-old has struggled for form since joining from Anderlecht and could be offered a lifeline by Claude Puel to link up with the Foxes.
