'Henry is still a player in his mind' - Petit questions France icon following Monaco suspension

The one time France international has criticised his ex-colleague after a disastrous first foray into management, which may be coming to an abrupt end

Emmanuel Petit believes his former Arsenal team-mate Thierry Henry has failed to understand how to make the step from being a player to a manager, after it was confirmed on Thursday night that he has been suspended as Monaco head coach before a final decision is made on his future.

Henry is now tipped to leave his first managerial post after overseeing just four league wins in three months in charge of the Ligue 1 team, as his clashes with match officials, opposition players and colourful comments in his press conferences have added to the confusion around his brief reign.
