Coach Jardim extends deal with Monaco for four more years
Paris: Ligue 1 club AS Monaco has announced that head coach Leonardo Jardim has extended his contract with France’s top-flight football club until June 30, 2019.
The 40-year-old Portuguese was appointed to the post last summer on a two-year deal after leaving Sporting Lisbon, as per reports.
“Since arriving in the Principality, the Portuguese coach has demonstrated the quality of his work, his efficiency and his ambition to develop the club’s project,” read a statement on the club’s website on Tuesday.
“By securing Leonardo Jardim’s services as coach until 2019, AS Monaco is demonstrating its commitment to stability, focusing on continued progress and achieving its ambitions for the future,” it added.
Monaco sit now on the third in Ligue 1 standings with just two rounds left in the 2014-2015 campaign, trailing 12 points to the leaders and holders Paris Saint-Germain and six points behind second-placed Lyon.
“It is a sign of confidence from the club, the board, to sign this extension. We have worked hard this season to put in place a new project and I am convinced that the best is to come,” Jardim told the website.
Monaco came out the surprising quarter-finalists of the European Champions League by ousting English Premier League side Arsenal but lost 0-1 on aggregate to Juventus in last eight matchups.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
