Monaco conceded a late goal to fellow mid-table side Nancy as their disappointing Ligue 1 campaign ended with a draw at the Stade Louis II on Saturday night.

The Monegasques will be glad to see the back of a season which saw them fail in both the Champions League and the UEFA Cup as well as the domestic cup competitions.

Their league campaign has also flattered to deceive and their 10th-placed finish is likely to cost coach Francesco Guidolin his job.

Things started badly for Guidolin's side when Gael Givet scored in his own net to put Nancy ahead.

Goals in the space of three second-half minutes by Ernesto Javier Chevanton and Francois Modesto looked to have given Monaco maximum points but Silva Andre Luiz's strike 11 minutes from time meant the sides shared the spoils.

The hosts thought they had broken the deadlock in the third minute when Jaroslav Plasil ran on to a Chevanton through-ball and slotted home through the goalkeeper's legs but the goal was disallowed for offside.

Nancy were ahead six minutes later when Givet, in an attempt to clear Benjamin Gavanon's free-kick, contrived to slice the ball into his own net.

The visitors almost doubled their lead on the half-hour mark but Pascal Berenguer's shot from 15 yards flew just off target.

Monaco lit up a soporific start to the second half with the leveller in the 63rd minute.

Arnaud Lescure saw his shot from 20 yards blocked but the ball fell nicely into the path of Chevanton, who slammed the ball home in unerring fashion.

They were ahead three minutes later when Plasil sent in a corner and Modesto rose to head home from the centre of the penalty area.

Monaco could not hold onto their lead though as substitute Luiz hit the back of the net following a blunder by home goalkeeper Flavio Roma.
