Soccer-Monaco coach Ricardo to leave at end of season

PARIS, May 20 - Monaco's Brazilian coach Ricardo
will leave at the end of the season, the Ligue 1 club said on
its website (www.asm-fc.com) on Wednesday.

"(Club) president Etienne Franzi and Ricardo Gomes Raymundo
met after (Saturday's) Monaco v Valenciennes game.

"They have decided to part company by mutual consent (and)
not continue their collaboration beyond this season," Monaco
said in a statement.

Monaco are 11th in Ligue 1 with two matches left following
their 1-1 draw at home to Valenciennes.

Former Brazil and Paris St Germain defender Ricardo joined
Monaco from Girondins Bordeaux two years ago.
