Arsenal
legend Thierry Henry has admitted that he would want to coach the English
Premier League (EPL) heavyweights sometime in the future.
Henry, who
is Arsenal’s all-time record goal scorer, was set to manage their U-18s this
summer, but the plan fell apart after Arsene Wenger intervened. The veteran
Arsenal manager wanted Henry to stick to his role as a pundit for Sky Sports.
“I’d be
lying if I told you being manager weren’t a wish that I have because I love
Arsenal,” Henry was quoted as saying by The Sun on Saturday.
“The game is
my passion and always will be. I would like to manage - but I am far from it.”
The
38-year-old completed his Uefa A license earlier this year but insisted he is
bent on acquiring the Uefa Pro-an advanced version.
“Although I
am able to manage any team now, I would still like to pass my Uefa Pro License,
which I’m working on to give me a better all-round knowledge,” he said.
“Before you
can think of becoming a first-team coach you need to have experience. That is
what I’m trying to get and to complete the necessary coaching hours that are
needed.”
The 1998
World Cup winner also added that he felt he could make a difference coaching
the Arsenal Under-18s, but even though he has not got the job he would carry on
supporting the team.
“There is a
massive difference between a wish and doing it. I felt I could add something to
the kids and also gain valuable experience myself,” he said.
“If it’s not
to be there, then so be it. I have to respect the situation. I’ll continue to
support the team and wish them the best for this season.”
