Henry opens up on ‘dream’ of becoming Arsenal manager

Matt Stead

Thierry Henry admits he would be “interested” in replacing Arsene Wenger as Arsenal manager.

Arsenal slumped to a meek 3-0 defeat against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

You can read 16 Conclusions on the game, or take a look at a Mailbox which says Arsene Wenger has lost the right to go on his own terms.

The Frenchman is under increasing pressure at the Emirates Stadium, with the Gunners sixth in the Premier League table, and stumbling past Ostersunds in the Europa League.

Arsenal legend Henry, currently Belgium’s assistant manager, says managing the north London club would be a “dream”.

“I still have a job to do with Belgium, but let’s see what’s going to happen,” he told Sky Sports.

“It will be a dream for me, but I’m still with Belgium. Interested? Yes, who wouldn’t be?

“But I can’t talk about that out of respect for the man that is in charge still and my job that I’m doing right now with Belgium. But who wouldn’t be interested?”
