Thierry Henry could be making a third return to Arsenal Football Club as Arsene Wenger drops hint that a coaching position could be made available for the Frenchman.
The 37-year-old is still currently playing professionally in America with MLS side, New York Red Bulls, but he is thinking about calling time on his illustrious career, with a role in coaching in the pipeline.
Henry has just one-month left on his current contract, and as it stands, no talks have been arranged between the player and the club, meaning the striker could leave sooner rather than later.
When asked about Henry and his future, Wenger hinted that a role at Arsenal could be available for the legend.
Wenger said: ‘It’s not impossible. I welcome people who have played for us to come back but not [for just] an honorary job.
‘It has to be a job that is available and one where you get up in the morning and do something.’
Then Wenger was questioned about Henry’s potential as a manager, and the Frenchman said: ‘Has he the quality to be a manager? Yes… but he has to decide to sacrifice his life,’ he added.
‘When you’re a player, you think it’s so simple to be a manager. When you are a manager, you think it’s so complicated suddenly and if you’re not prepared for that you cannot survive.
‘One quality that you need is resistance to criticism when you feel it’s not justified. I don’t know how he’ll handle that.
‘He has to learn the job first. I have seen so many who have the qualities and they have not survived their first job because they are not ready.’
