Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has
returned to the club to take up a coaching role with the Gunners’
academy.
Wenger revealed last November that it was ‘not impossible’ the
Frenchman, who retired from the game before Christmas before embarking
on a punditry career with Sky Sports, could join Arsenal’s backroom
staff.
And just three months on, Wenger has revealed that Henry has indeed
returned to Arsenal to earn his coaching badges, and said the
37-year-old’s presence at the academy would be beneficial for the
Gunners’ younger players.
‘Thierry Henry is making his first steps as a coach,’ Wenger said on Friday.
‘It’s good for our youngsters to be coached by him. He’s been here
once or twice. All our former players are welcome to come back here and
get their coaching badges.
‘We’re happy to have him.’
