Thierry Henry has given an interview to Four Four Two magazine and has revealed what his great dream is: to be Arsenal manager. The legendary former striker of the English club recognizes that the “Gunners” are the team of his life. “Listen, if you ask an Arsenal fan if they would like to coach Arsenal one day, they will say yes. If you ask an Arsenal fan if they would like to score a goal for Arsenal, they will say yes. When I talk about it, it is a utopia. People get carried away every time I say it's my club, but it's in my blood: I'm an Arsenal fan. So if you ask me if one day I would like to coach Arsenal, then I say yes. If you ask me if one day I would like to be in charge of Arsenal's equipment, then yes. If they ask me if one day I would like to mow the Emirates Stadium, then yes ”, reflected the former striker.
Henry took the opportunity to also leave Barcelona's doors open, another of his former teams: “If you ask me if I am dreaming, yes, I am dreaming. But when you are not dreaming, you are awake and there is a reality. Would I like to coach Arsenal? Yes. Would I like to go to Barcelona? Yes. Would I like to play for Arsenal again? I would love to play with them again, but the reality is that I can't. I'm on my learning curve, I want to do well for the team I'm training, then time will tell. If you are not successful, you are not going to have those kinds of opportunities. I just focus on what I can control, and the rest is a great utopia. Would I have liked to sing like Lionel Richie? Yes, but I don't sing like Lionel Richie. “
On February 25, Thierry Henry left his position as coach of the Montreal Impact, an MLS team. The former French footballer explained in a statement that his decision was due to personal issues: “Last year was extremely for me personally. Due to the global pandemic, I could not see my children ”. That was the reason why he decided to return to London.
