Wanyama: Montreal Impact’s Henry good person on and off the pitch

Kenya international Victor Wanyama has described his coach at club level Thierry Henry as a fatherly figure to many players.

The Kenyan captain moved to Major League Soccer (MLS) from Tottenham Hostpur, after Henry, who played for his rival club Arsenal, went for his services on March 4, 2020.

Wanyama ended penning a three-year deal with Montreal Impact and was instrumental as the team had a good run in the 2019-20 season, but failed to make it to the Concacaf Champions League when they fell at the final hurdle after losing to Club Olimpia of Paraguay on the away goals rule.
