With this report, this speculation will now certainly come to an end as Henry has decided to return to his home and manage a top side in Ligue 1.
The heart of the matter
Thierry Henry has been a successful deputy to Roberto Martinez at Belgium. He has played a crucial part in helping Belgium finish in the 3rd place at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. Many senior Belgium players such as Eden Hazard, Lukaku, De Bruyne have improved under his watchful eyes. Hence, he has played a crucial part in making Belgium one of the best international teams on this planet.
Monaco have started this season terribly as they are without a win in 10 games and hence lie in 18th place in Ligue 1. They certainly need some inspiration from someone otherwise one of the formidable sides in France will, unfortunately, be staring at relegation at the end of this season.
Hence, Monaco have seemingly decided to replace the current coach Leonardo Jardim with Thierry Henry to solve their current situation.
Rumour Rating: 6/10
ESPN is a reliable source and hence there is no need to doubt this report. Monaco certainly need some inspiration to turn their season around and hence they might feel that Thierry Henry could be the best person for the job.
