In an interview with former goalkeeper Ben Foster for Amazon Prime Video Sport, Henry takes stock of his ambitions as a coach. Still an assistant, Thierry Henry would see himself coaching once more in the future. “I have to be modest regarding this because I am still under contract with Belgium. But if we talk regarding the future: one day, hopefully, I want to find a club with a good project.
Between his two periods as an assistant with the Red Devils (2016-2018 and since May 2021), the former striker had two difficult experiences as a head coach: in Monaco and in Montreal.
”I went to Monaco, I mightn’t know it but I arrived with 13 injured players”he explained “You come in, they gave me two and a half months and I was fired. I was told: ‘now you are a coach’”.
Arrived in Montreal during the covid period, the Frenchman finally left the club for personal reasons: “I came back because I didn’t see my children for a year, it was hard”
But despite these two mixed experiences, the former Arsenal striker would see himself as a coach once more: “Tell me I’m crazy, but if there’s an opportunity, you know you have to assess it and look at it. I want this.”
It remains to be seen whether this will be in the near future and whether he too will leave the Red Devils in the coming weeks.
