Leonardo Jardim Watch

Monaco are the best team of this beginning of season.
Passed the play off against Villareal ( first elimination for a Spanish team since .. ? ), won the Champions League group , they are 1st in Ligue One.

They evolved their game too . That Monaco that got the CL quarter finals 2 years ago were a solid team but they didn't score many goals.
This year, instead, they 've already scored 53 goals in 17 matches PSG scored 30 , for example.

So isn't him underrated ? Should he get more credit ?
Great job in these years under Monaco imo.
Even Kondogbia looked like a solid DM under him ffs

Come to Arsenal ffs

Outclassed even Pep Fraudiola

Voted Ligue 1 coach of the year.

A tremendous season.

More than deserved. Outrageously good stuff.

ABOLA reporting that Leonardo Jardim has agreed terms with Beijing Guoan

Seems like it's true lol. Wow. Mbappe leaving for sure then.

Issue is that Jardim has a release clause of 15 mil euros and the chinese club is only offering 8.

12 mil per season wages for Jardim. Hard to refuse that. But such a waste.

"C'est une information à considérer avec prudence."


it's a lot of money, but Jardim is just entering the peak of his career, hard to believe he would go there

ffs what a shame

I wouldn't worry though, he'll be back to take over Arsenal when Wenger leaves.

What a waste ffs.

inb4 betty

Don't like this at all. It's gonna be difficult to repeat last season now.

Signed a new contract until 2020

Typical summer transfer window madness

No one knows shit

That's good to see. Would really love to watch this Monaco side if they can hold on to as many of their players last season as possible

He almost left. Jardim was upset that he might lose almost all his team lol. Monaco presented to him their plans to show they are ambitious despite this policy (like Porto for example). It convinced him to stay.

No matter how many articles RMC release after this failure, no one is believing their shit anymore.

It's been corroborated by Nice Matin urbie... it may have been a negotiating ploy (likely). But Nice Matin are very good with AS Monaco news.

I was just kiddin, Bouhafsi is awesome for RMC Sport. He was the only person who reported our bid for Mahrez last summer and no one believed it until Mahrez confirmed it 6 months later.

Yea so far they have done a good job, has to be said. Has only lost Silva. Rejected bids for Mbappe(at least as of now), Mendy and Fabinho and looks Bakayoko is on his way out but have already brought in Tielemans to fill the role. Get someone like Mahrez, a new GK and they will be set.

So far, yes. But then the transfer market hasn't even officially opened yet so who knows.. they might still sell the whole team.

Glad he's staying after all. And yeah would like someone like Mahrez tbh. Don't know if Monaco is gonna spend on proven big names.

There are just as talented players as Mahrez around in Portugal, Brazil and even France. Arit of Nantes for example. No need to overpay for a player that is part of the EPL hype machine.

Mahrez is a fine player but it's not a need either.

Boschilia is very talented and will play (Brazilian). Besides, if Mbappe stays, the front line will be Germain/Mbappe/Falcao. My guess is that they'll look for CMs as opposed to AMs
