Thierry Henry 'wants the Belgium job - and is willing to take a lower salary than Roberto Martinez's £2.65m deal' - with Romelu Lukaku and Toby Alderweireld publicly endorsing him after two spells as assistant manager

Thierry Henry has reportedly told Belgium that he wants to become the national team's head coach after serving as an assistant to Roberto Martinez.

The Arsenal legend has been the assistant coach of the Red Devils twice - most recently since 2021 - but it's understood he now wishes to step up his role.

Although he has not officially applied for the role, he has informally declared his intentions to lead the national team, according to Belgium paper HLN.
