Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has welcomed Thierry Henry’s return
to the club as youth coach.
Henry, 37, is the club’s all time
leading goal scorer and Wenger is confident the youngsters will benefit a great
deal from his expertise.
Wenger told reporters: "Thierry
Henry is making his first steps as a coach.
"It's good for our youngsters to
be coached by him. He's been here once or twice.
"All our former players are
welcome to come back here and get their coaching badges. We're happy to have
him."
Henry spent eight trophy-laden years
at the North London club between 1999 and 2007 before returning for a brief
loan spell in 2012.
Henry, who is currently working with Sky
Sports, sees his long term future in the dug-out and is determined to
go through the whole hog of getting his badges soon.
When asked if he harbored plans to
manage Arsenal - where he scored a club-record 228 goals, Henry told The
Telegraph.
"That would be a dream come true
but that's not how it works. You have to prove yourself first, you have to
learn first. You need to be able to understand what it is to be a manager.
"The plan is to start my badges
and I guess Arsenal will help me.
"To pass your badges, you have
to work closely with a club and I would like to think it is going to be
Arsenal. You know I'm in London when you see me at Arsenal.
