Henry on Sky Sports Thierry Henry has quit his £4million-a-year role as a Sky Sports pundit to pursue his dream of becoming a manager.
The Arsenal legend made the shock decision after helping Roberto Martinez’s Belgium to a third-place finish at the World Cup by beating England on Saturday.
Henry’s experience in Russia this summer has increased his appetite for a managerial career of his own.
The 40-year-old, now braced for a string of offers, said: “Over the last four years I have had some extremely rewarding coaching experiences in football.
“These experiences have only made me more determined to fulfil my long-term ambition to become a football manager.
Henry’s decision will see him follow former BT Sport pair Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard from the studio to the dugout. Gerrard is now Rangers boss while Lampard is in charge at Derby.
