Former Chelsea football chief Michael Emenalo has been sacked by AS Monaco.

Monaco terminated the contract of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry just 20 games into his reign at the French side - and Emenalo has now followed him out the door.

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.
