Thierry Henry departs Monaco with "great sadness" but is confident they have the squad of players to remain in Ligue 1 under Leonardo Jardim's stewardship.
Henry was suspended on Thursday and his sacking was confirmed 24 hours later, the club's former striker leaving after just three months in charge having replaced Jardim and failed to inspire a turnaround to move them away from the relegation zone.
Franck Passi will take charge for the relegation six-pointer against Dijon on Saturday before Jardim reassumes control.
Henry's departure comes with the club a point and a place above the bottom of the Ligue 1 table, with the former Belgium assistant having overseen a Champions League group-stage exit and a Coupe de France humbling at the hands of second-tier Metz during his brief spell.
