Liverpool midfielder Fabinho has paid tribute to his former AS Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim.
Fabinho , 25, left Monaco for Liverpool in the summer of 2018 and today the midfielder is considered one of the world's foremost in his position.
He told the Liverpool Echo: "After five seasons in Monaco, I knew it was the right time to leave for another step in my career. I wanted to sign up for a big club. I did not hesitate to come to Liverpool, and as soon as the transfer window opened, the deal became official.
"It's really a huge club, one of the biggest in the world. The club has great ambitions and that's what I wanted with my career, so I'm very happy to be here.
"My time in Monaco was very good and I think I developed all the time. I stayed for five years and work with Leonardo Jardim for four. He was a coach who developed me. It was he who made me take a big step and change position (from the right back). We always talked about it when I liked that position and he liked to see me in it."
