Guidolin awaiting Monaco's verdict
 Monaco are close to finalising a successor for Deschamps, above ROME, Italy -- Italian coach Franceso Guidolin is poised to take over at the helm of French first division side Monaco, according to media reports in Rome on Monday. The 50-year-old will fill the vacancy left following the resignation of former France captain Didier Deschamps two weeks ago. "I'm waiting for an answer from Monaco," Guidolin confirmed. "I can't say more than that. I can't put the negotiations in peril." Monaco spokesman Richard Conte said an announcement concerning the new coach would take place "Wednesday or more likely Thursday" but refused to elaborate. Guidolin, who coached Palermo from 2004-2005, had been appointed to promoted Serie A side Genoa at the beginning of the season. But he broke his contract when the club were demoted to the third division for match-fixing. Monaco have been looking for a coach since Deschamps quit on September 19. His deputy Jean Petit had been acting as caretaker coach but insisted he would not continue beyond last Sunday's 1-0 league win over Lille, which lifted the club to 11th in the table.
