Thierry Henry appointed Arsenal coach

Kozo Okamoto · Feb 21, 2015

Arsene Wenger has confirmed Thierry Henry has taken up a coaching role at Arsenal within the club's academy.

Wenger revealed late last year that the club's all-time top scorer could take up a backroom role after bringing the curtain down on his stellar playing career.

The 37-year-old began work at the club recently with a view to earning his coaching badges, and Wenger is confident the World Cup-winning former striker's experience will benefit Arsenal's youngsters.

"Thierry Henry is making his first steps as a coach," Wenger confirmed to reporters.
"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."

Wenger was speaking ahead of Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace, where he hopes to be able to call upon Jack Wilshere for the first time since November but Aaron Ramsey remains sidelined.

"He [Wilshere] is a bit ahead of schedule because he has worked hard," he said. "I cannot tell you whether Jack will start. I've not picked the team definitely. It's difficult to come back immediately."

He added: "[Hector] Bellerin will have a test today ... [Alex Oxlade-]Chamberlain is back in full training but is a bit short to be considered. Ramsey I think is 10 days away."

Although you're now working as a football analyst on TV, have you considered going into coaching?
Yes, for sure but I have to go step by step. First I have to get my coaching licence, because it's one thing knowing about football but something else entirely being able to pass that knowledge to the players and handle their egos. I have a lot to learn but, as an occupation, it would be interesting.

You mentioned players' egos. Is dealing with that the hardest part of coaching?
No I don't think so. When you're a player, you do your training and you go home. When you're a coach, you need to arrive first, prepare your training and you always have something to worry about. You're thinking, how can I get that injured player fit again or how can I break this run of bad results? Problems end up at your door. You might have a squad member complaining about not getting enough playing time, while you're trying to focus on the next fixture with the press on your back for going three games without a win. You have to be able to handle all that, which isn't easy, so that's why you need to take your time and educate yourself.

Finally, of all the coaches you've worked with, who have you learned most from?
I learned from all of them, the good and the bad. People always talk about the good years, but the truth is that you learn even more when things aren't going well. People try to forget those difficult times but I think the opposite: you have to remember them so as to learn from your mistakes and not repeat them.
