Soccer-Monaco hail Berbatov after he leaves club

PARIS, June 2 (Reuters) - Monaco have released former Bulgaria striker Dimitar Berbatov after he spent a season and a half with the Ligue 1 club.

The 34-year-old former Manchester United player joined from Fulham in January 2014 and last season he scored the second goal in a memorable 3-1 Champions League win at Arsenal.

Berbatov hit the net nine times in 37 appearances last term as Monaco finished third in the league.

"Dimitar Berbatov showed all his talent and great professionalism," said vice president Vadim Vasilyev in a statement on Tuesday.
