#4 Thierry Henry - Belgium (Asst Manager) & AS Monaco

Henry is still the assistant manager of Belgium

Thierry Henry is the highest-scoring foreign player in the Premier League history with 175 goals in 258 games for Arsenal. The Frenchman was one of the best players in the world when he was at Arsenal and post-retirement, he became a pundit first before opting to be a manager.

Henry was Belgium’s second assistant manager from 2016 and was part of the coaching staff when they finished third at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

After the World Cup, Henry stepped down from his role in broadcasting to pursue his ambition in managing. He previously managed the Arsenal U18 team and in the summer, he was linked with the Aston Villa and Bordeaux job. However, he opted to continue with his role Belgium.

On October 2013, Henry was appointed as the manager of AS Monaco, the club with which he made his professional debut after coming through the academy.

Monaco sacked Leonardo Jardim after they found themselves in 18th place with six points from nine games. Henry has an uphill task to secure European qualification for the Ligue 1 giants.

Interestingly, he will be up against his former Arsenal and France teammate Patrick Vieira when Monaco play Nice.
