Monaco’s owners have backed Thierry Henry as coach, just hours after his side were beaten 4-0 by Paris St Germain to extend Henry’s winless run to six games.
Vadim Vasilyev, Monaco’s Vice-president, said they would not bow to mounting pressure and fire Henry, who has drawn two and lost four matches since succeeding Leonardo Jardim.
“Thierry Henry came for the long term, he is not a firefighter,” Vasilyev told French TV channel Canal.
The former Arsenal and Barcelona striker took over in the principality last month, but has struggled in his new role at last season’s Ligue 1 runners-up. Injuries have played a part, with several first-team players unavailable and a strategy of selling top players has hardly helped instill the club with a sense of stability.
