Arsenal‘s all-time top scorer Thierry Henry has been hinting at a return to Arsenal. He has revealed that he would love to return to the Emirates as a manager and not a player.
As per reports in Goal.com, the New York Red Bulls striker has said: “I would love to be around the game and – I’ve said it so many times – hopefully around Arsenal.
“What am I going to do? I don’t know if it’s going to be coaching. I really don’t know yet. I’m trying to finish my career, which is something I have to concentrate on.
“This is my last year actually, the one coming, on paper. I’m not saying I’m retiring, I’m saying that’s my last year on paper to make it clear.”
When asked if he will ever manage Arsenal, Henry said: “I don’t know. I’m sure if you asked any Arsenal fan they would love to be the Arsenal manager, but I actually don’t know.
“You need to do some stuff before that. You can’t pretend that you can come and be a manager. It’s really difficult.
“The dream for me would be to be back at Arsenal. The rest we will see, but the dream would be to be back at Arsenal, obviously.”
Thierry Henry was Arsenal’s top scorer with 228 goals and was part of Arsenal’s team that won their last trophy – the FA Cup in 2005. He then moved to Barcelona in 2007 and also won the La Liga in his final year. Henry moved to MLS in 2010 and might hang up his boots at the end of the season and would look forward to manage Arsenal.
