Kanu Backs ‘Warrior’ Henry for Arsenal job

By Daily Sports on September 14, 2019

Thierry Henry is a “warrior” who will bounce back from his disastrous spell as Monaco boss.

That is the view for Henry’s former Arsenal team-mate Nwankwo Kanu, who believes the Gunners legend could still realise his dream of one day landing the top job at the Emirates.

Henry took up his first management role in November 2018, taking over from Leonardo Jardim at Monaco, but endured a miserable time at the helm of the Ligue 1 outfit.

He won just five of his 20 games in all competitions before being sacked, with Jardim returning to the principality to guide them away from the relegation zone.

Henry admits his first experience in management was a painful one, but insists it has not dented his desire to go on and become a successful coach.

And Kanu – who played with Henry for five years between 1999 and 2004 – is adamant Arsenal’s record goalscorer has what it takes to reach the top once again.

“He’s a warrior,” the Nigeria legend exclusively told Goal. “Somebody who doesn’t give up.

“I think he did it [at Monaco] but it didn’t work. But it’s always good to go and get the experience and see how it works.

“If it goes good or it goes bad, that doesn’t change who you are. You have to keep going and I know he is not someone who takes defeat.

“He wants to win, so he will bounce back and coach again at a good club.”

Henry has never hidden his desire to one day return to Arsenal as manager and was suggested as a possibility before Unai Emery was appointed as Arsene Wenger’s successor. (Vanguard)
