Thierry Henry says he will not work as an assistant coach at Arsenal as it must be the top job or nothing - See more at: https://goo.gl/R9JygZ

You have learned well from the Uk tabloids.

Henry said he won't be an assistant to Arteta. Didn't say he won't return to Arsenal.

[Enugu II]

I do not blame him. I thought that he would be a very good choice as manager. Choice of Arteta not bad either but Henry should be manager not assistant.

[ohenhen1]

I don't know if Henry is a good manager material. That is why we have an interview process.

He doesn't look like he has a lot of experience. The same with Arteta.

Has he apply for the job?
Henry scarce me as a coach.I hope he makes a good coach.

Arteta has been Guardiola's study all be it for a short time, Henry? - A football pundit.

I have watch him as assistant for Belgium, even the way he try to report and analyst the game.I just fear that he has not coach a club football and to give him a big job with no structure in place like when Pep took over Barca is asking for trouble.As an assistant he will.need someone that he respect not likes of Arteta who I also fear lack experience and has never coach a football match.

[theYemster]

I agree. Wrong combination on both fronts. I don't think both the coach and assistant should be inexperienced. If Arteta's the coach then he should get a more experienced assistant. Or Henry can be assistant to an experienced coach. But we shouldn't pair them both together.

[oloye]

I would have been surprised if he showed up as assistant under Arteta, to start with he is doing well with Sky. Secondly for someone who has a statue outside the stadium in his honour, it is utter disrespect to sound him out to be an assistant, why is he not good enough to be the manager?

Looks like coconuts heads are still running this club!

Jokes apart - I am with Kaji shake shake on this , their inaptness ( board and mgt ) must be revealed and they must be shamed out. Wenger with all his faults covered and took too much blame for the yeye coconut heads.

Henry is assistant coach of Belgium National Team, and has been "coaching" longer than Arteta.

NB: I have not clicked on Ayo's link.

Going by what I have seen on the green grass, Arteta should get the job.

Arteta has the blessing of Arsene Wenger. Henry does not.

Arteta is assistant to a proven quality coach and it shows on the green grass while Henry has not and it is showing on the green grass. Belgium has very good players but coaching (which includes Henry) is still holding them back.

Arteta has more leadership qualities than Henry (hence A. Wenger's blessing).

Patrick Viera should be in the mix instead of Henry.

Whichever coach who gets it should have the freedom to pick their own assistants.

And Moyes had the blessing of Sir Fergie!

Why do we have this thread on the EN page while the Road to Russia thread has been moved to the obscure World Cup forum?

I think Arteta has more coaching hours besides national team posts are different from club sides

I dont know how many coaching hours each have. But Henry has been coaching longer than Arteta has been coaching.

This is the wrong metric to look at here.

David Moyes has been coaching longer than Pep, Arteta or Henry. Should he get the job ahead of them all?

Against Sir Fergie's advice, Moyes got rid of the support staff that would have eased his transition. The rest just quit!
That was Moyes' death knell.

Arteta knows Arsenal's support staff and many will stay if he were to take over. I believe that is another big reason Wenger wants him. Just to protect the support staff, Wenger's people.

An outside coach or even Henry who has been away for a while will inevitably lose a lot of current Arsenal support staff.

They should keep that group apart from the medics and physios.

Another important attribute you want in a coach is access to a top notch, quality support network of other coaches especially for a young coach.

[ohenhen1]

Arsenal is a tough job even for experienced managers. We need an experienced coach that can manage the side. The manager has to manage mentally weak players. He has to oversee the transition from a legend. He has to rebuild the team. He has to fight a cheap board to get resources.

Any one of the following coaches will do.

Ralph Hasenhüttl

Jardim

Luis Enrique

Rafa Benitez
