Henry confirms Arsenal exit after Wenger's ultimatum over pundit role on sky sports

Thierry Henry has confirmed that he will continue his career as a pundit in favour of a coaching role at Arsenal.

The Gunners’ all-time record goalscorer had been working with Arsenal’s youth sides in order to gain his UEFA A coaching licence, and was then offered a permanent role with the Under-18s.

But Henry was issued an ultimatum by Wenger to give up his £4 million-a-year role as a pundit with Sky Sports in order to focus on his full-time position at Arsenal.


“I would like to thank Andries Jonker for offering me the chance to coach the U18's at Arsenal, which I was honoured to accept,” Henry posted on Twitter.
