Thierry Henry Reportedly Set for Arsenal Academy Role

Arsenal’s all-time record goalscorer Thierry Henry will reportedly be handed the role of assistant manager with the club’s under-18 team next season.

According to Goal (h/t Alex Wood of the Daily Star), the Frenchman will line up alongside team boss Kwame Ampadu after securing his UEFA A coaching license in March. The Gunners icon has been working on Sky Sports’ coverage of Premier League games as a pundit since retiring in December 2014.

Wood has also reported that as a part of achieving his coaching qualifications Henry has been working alongside young Arsenal players.
