Monaco takes on new partner

French Ligue 1 football club AS Monaco has agreed a one-year sponsorship deal with employment services company Triangle Interim.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Triangle Interim logo will appear on the left sleeve of Monaco’s shirt throughout the 2013-14 season, as well as the club’s training wear.

The deal was announced ahead of the club’s return to Ligue 1 at the weekend, when it won 2-0 at Girondins de Bordeaux on Saturday.

Monaco is currently staging a revival under the patronage of Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, who acquired a 66.67 percent stake in the club through his Monaco Sport Invest company in December 2011.

Following relegation from Ligue 1 in 2010-11, Monaco sealed its return to the French top flight last season and the club has embarked on a summer spending spree of around €150m ($195m) as it seeks to re-establish itself.
