Guardiola backs Henry to enter management after Arsenal thrashing

The Man City manager believes his former player has the ability to manage in the future, while also sympathizing with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola backs Thierry Henry to become a manager — if that is something the former striker wants to do.

Arsenal lost perhaps their best chance at silverware this season with a humiliating 3-0 loss in the Carabao Cup final to Man City on Sunday, then fell further out of the top-four race with another loss to City by an identical scoreline four days later.

The defeat heaped further pressure on Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, as Arsenal remains 10 points back of fourth place with the Europa League looking the only possible route back to the Champions League.
