Arsene Wenger Backs Thierry Henry for Managerial Career Despite Monaco Sacking
Arsene Wenger has come to the defence of former Arsenal charge Thierry Henry and backed the sacked AS Monaco boss to become a success as a manager despite surviving for only three months at the Stade Louis II.
Henry was fired at Monaco—his first senior coaching position—in January, but Wenger sympathised with Henry's plight when speaking at the 2019 Laureus World Sports Awards (h/t Goal's Stephen Creek):
“If you arrive in October and the team is in a bad position, you have three months. Because in January everybody starts to become nervous that things could go very badly, so you have less time.
