Thierry Henry opens up on his experiences of managing AS Monaco FC & Montreal Impact | MNF 

Thomas Tuchel perfectly summed it up he said “Coaching isnt the next step or something you do right after 400 appearances as a player, it’s something which needs to be studied, something which you learn with time and experience.” And his words make absolute sense as some of the best coaches in football never really had good careers as players, some weren’t even professionals.

I wanna see Henry on the same panel as Micah and Roy Keane. That would be great entertainment

Henry as SkySports pundit is the way to go!

He's learning and he's strong enough to show that he's learning. That's good.

Henry is always honest, appreciate it.

Editor: So sky, how many Henry videos will you upload this week? Sky: *Yes*

Henry gets a hard time as a manager, took over a failing Monaco side and didn't manage to turn it around but they were already very bad. His knowledge of the game is immense so I have faith he'll make it at the top level.

Carraghers having flashbacks of the many times Henry destroyed him😂😂

Thierry is more than welcome to come and manage Morecambe

Henry is such a confident person, everything he says it absolutely bang on and because of who he is you listen, like in his last run on sky no other pundits ever really tried to challenge anything he said because he is always correct, only person I’ve seen put Keane in his place and I want to see it again

He "learned a lot on the human side" always knew henry was a machine

His explanation of the nitty gritties of a modern manager with today's generation actually made me appreciate Arteta for once.

Sky being a bit cheeky there posting Thierry Henry content on St. Patrick's Day..

I could listen to Thierry all day, he should be a pundit if he doesn’t become a manager again.

Only man that can make a science teacher suit look good

This guy is class. Fantastic player and a fantastic speaker of the game. Not all great players turn out to be great managers so nothing on him for not setting the world alight at Monaco. Water off a ducks back for him

I realised that strikers normally don’t make great managers , normally CDM/CM are the ones who understand the game better & make the whole team more immersive with their playing style

Thierry Jokes Aside Henry

God almighty I miss him as a player, he scored some of the most beautiful goals I've ever seen.

Thierry looks like he could make any PL team starting 11

Imagine Playing for Montreal and questioning Henry, you would do very well to take his advice as it will probably be the best you will ever get, don’t get this generation.

Hopefully makes a great manager. One of the greatest of all time as a player 🙌

This guy could take arsenal into league 1 and I'd still love him with all my heart

I noticed that Thierry Henry has become fluent in English than he was 2 yrs ago. He used to quite stumble but now he is expressive and fluent.

Super positive sign that he keeps an open mind and knows how different the young players coming up are, hopefully you can keep getting the opportunities to learn and get better Thierry!

Jamie “long sigh and deep breathes after every three words” Carragher.

He was in a no win situation at Monaco. They had that great team with Bernardo Silva, Mbappe, Benjamin Mendy etc and then sold most of them at the end of the season they reached the champions league semi final and won the league. Thierry Henry came in and had to pick up the pieces. That would have been a really hard job for an experienced manager let alone someone who is just starting his managerial career.

Would love to see Henry succeed as a manager too. Wish him a lot of success.

Henry is a very intelligent guy who's worked under Wenger and Guardiola. I'd be surprised if he didn't make it as a good coach in the end. People need to remember however legendary he was as a player he is still a novice as a manager.

Man, what an insight. Really enjoyed that

That record is shocking😂😂

Undisputed greatest player in premier league history...

I love how henry speaks about his tactical errors of being a manager cuz he didn't feel comfortable being manager and I feel for him. He should stay with sky sports for awhile cuz that's a good place for him to express his technical errors of the way he manages as a coach. so please respect this legend 🙏🇨🇵🙏

The way Thierry answered 'No... no no' is so Wengeresc.. ah, take me back 20 yrs please!

I'm a United fan and have therefore seen some AMAZING strikers. But, Thierry Henry? WHAT A PLAYER! Managing though is a much different beast.

Honestly my favourite sports personality of all time, nothing but love for the guy, so humble

Thierry what a man I could listen to this guy talk about football for hours

Pleasure to listen to, Henry has clearly grown from his Monaco days, let's see what the next job holds for him.

Absolutely incredible player and a gentlemen. Mad respect. From a Spurs fan.

Love how honestly he speaks. Definitely more “managers” inside and outside of sport need to learn from this.

♥️bless Henry our legend💖

Could listen to Thierry all day. He’d be a fantastic pundit if management doesn’t work out

Thierry Henry is emotional about his game.

Henry’s footballing brain is something else would love to see him have time at even a small club just to see him develop he would be a world class manager

The word is emotional intelligence. Henry learned it the hard way. This something that Arteta has going for him!

Henry has a wonderful football brain. He just needs a good team with good set of players and he will be very difficult to beat

Listening to Henry is always educational! What an intelligent individual! Have him on more often!

Thierry was brilliant...He really did deserve to play at Fratton Park and pull on the famous no. 14 blue shirt. The only thing he didn't achieve in an otherwise glittering career.

Titi job interviews. Sky should be a manager agent lol

One thing we've learnt from this video: Thierry's "not having a go"

Watching this video makes me have a bit more sympathy for Arteta at Arsenal, and even managers under pressure in general. Incredible interview

I could sit an listen to Henry all day. I admired him as player and his insight into the game as player, and now management, is rather refreshing.

He didn’t do badly in Canada. Monaco he was given no time at all with a club in turmoil

Henry should look for the head coach positions, his voice and knowledge can definitely improve players, plus will be working with a manager and can learn from him. Unfortunately both Managerial Records are pretty terrible, best of luck to him 🙏

I'm loving the comments on this video, everyone appreciating Henry as a pundit but also just enjoying the general debate and analyses. And I don't just say this as an Arsenal fan; I love seeing Carragher, Redknapp, Souness, Micah Richards, Keane, etc, too. But I like the fact that so many football fans are engaged with the game in the non-match capacity, enjoying the commentary, analysis, punditry and debates. It makes football all the more beautiful imo and that's what this is all about

The way how Henry talks and his mannerisms give me a Pep and Klopp feel. Very meticulous and pays attention to every detail. I would love to see what he does with a top team with resources.

I have a very strong suspicion that this approach with the "new generation player" has something to do with why Mourinho has been losing control of his dressing rooms in all his later jobs.

Henry is as smoothly eloquent as he was skilful as a player, but he needs to do more than speak well. Even as an Arsenal fan, I think he still has a very long way to go improve and establish himself as a manager. Hopefully he is able to learn and become a success.

My favourite player ever. Such an amazing guy as well. Can see him becoming a top coach in the future.

Thierry Henry is an incredible person. Period.

I played for 12 years at what was Canada's highest level before CPL and MLS. I started coaching 6 years ago and the first 3 years was very hard to transition from player to coach . I started all my coaching badges from the very beginning . I'm talking U4 all the way to U8 . Even tho my ambition is to be a head coach of a top club , I still started with youth badges regardless of my background . Every course I did whether it was for 4 ur olds to U18 I learned something . Alot of these former pros Henry,Seedorf , Lampard which ever u name . I can guarantee u none of them suffered and did what they consider is below them. All of them were fast tracked based on their player status . Henry got his UEFA B license and A and pro all in a span of a few months . Look it up if u don't believe . Infact numerous candidates complained that it took them yrs and Henry got his so quick. There's no doubt these coaches were fine players , legends even but it's completely diff when u go into coaching. Watching a game is not normal anymore . These guys don't want to suffer with b clubs or even C clubs . They are all previleged enough to have contacts . I coach semi pro here in Canada now . I can't even get a chance with 5 division English clubs let alone second division. These guys have good footballing brains but never adjusted properly. Seedorf claims racism in management . He said Henry had to run to Canada because he can't find a job in Europe . But they all over look the fact that they are simply not ready. Also look over the fact that they got their license quicker than I wrote this . 6 years coaching now and I have to fly to Germany to get my UEFA B in June . Complete bs if u ask me.

VERY honest analysis. 👊🏿❤️ But, I guess he now KNOWS and has EXPERIENCED what Arsene Wenger who he criticized a lot, went through.

Man United fan but respect to Henry for what he did in his career and even after he retired. It’s a lot of courage to get into management and pundit jobs, can tell it’s not easy but I always appreciate the honesty from him 💯

I could hear Thierry Henry talk all day. He is so charismatic.

He should not have taken the monaco job so quickly

If Henry was my coach I wouldnt be able to concentrate. I'd just stare at him in awe because of everthing he has done.

I love the part of players going to the dressing room and taking their phone to see what the manager says about them

This is very educative. Never wanted him to stop speaking . Bravo titi

Henry definitely understands more now, i would really want him to be assistant manager to be a class A manager

Thierry had a great attitude as a player, and expected everyone in his team to live up to it. But kids these days are built differently; they demand love and attention. I can imagine him struggling a little with this new breed of young European players.

I hope he can improve as a manager. Will always be a legend no matter what

I actually enjoyed this interview from Henry Got lot of insights about the manegerial role Usually on interviews they are not completely transparent due to media scrutinity of course and how it could affect the players

I’d love it if Henry managed Arsenal one day but his CV needs to improve dramatically before that!! 🔴⚪️

This was quite educational, I'll try and hold my tongue abit more when I see United play out from the back. We're horrifying at it but it's really growing pains and it hurts like hell man. Ole has given Fred a role to play in the United side and it's unfair to ask him to be playing 50 games a season because idt he's supposed to be fulfilling that role, but players like Fred and McTominay are essential if you want to go the distance in a football season. Here's to better recruitment at United, fingers crossed the new structure is not a mask.

My idol as a young player in the 90's

setting Henry up with a nice little future job interview slot in television nice

Jamie never learnt from his mistakes he’s still scoring own goals to this day😂😂

Henry is one of them coach that can get chemistry in a Team.

One of the greatest players to ever grace the premier league

The unsuccessful start of many coaching careers of great players like Henry ,Lampard ,Gary Neville , Viera makes what Guardiola achieved even greater

Thierry henry has a great football brain!

This is the second time Henry gave me a huge grin while listening to his 'personal' stories related to football. The first one was Pep philosophy at Barca when tiki-taka was the cute name fed to consumers. It was actually 2/3 and with the monsters they had at every position the last 1/3 was a buffet... This time on how to make the way up from a bad position (getting hired) and try to change the DNA of a team by convincing each member to going back to basic and progress from the goal out without eliminating by forcing them to get rid of the 'old' habit (long ball) which is in itself a very useful skillset in other situations. The 'victory' is when team member started to do the right thing (moving the ball forward instead of sideway). Taking responsibility is a sign of confident. Working in IT and tried to explain the theory of football to people with education background and degrees from institutions are the hardest. Mostly impossible since they refuse simple logic but explain the Diamond shape is actually a special binary tree will make them LOL for the joke... Having 'technical' interviews are simply as stupid as coaches challenge players on how to do a Rabona. This is the reason why it's hard to find good developer and big compagnies tried different methods but forgot that human is corrupted per design as soon as power and money get into the process. Henry would be a kick ass developer and I will take as my teamate without a sweat. He will learn coding as I'll ask dumb questions on football... Henry ? Do we Rabona in Tiki-Taka ?

He is basically saying the new generation are just soft af, who would have thought xD

Thierry returning to Arsenal as manager in the future is inevitable. He’s going to be an incredible coach, this is all part of the learning process, a humbling process.

I think he should look at managing a championship team next. It’s a competitive league, I feel he will learn a lot from it.

I'm a Forest fan of over 40 years but Thierry Henry has been a revelation for me as a player up there with Ronaldo and Messi and he's won a world Cup too they haven't The manager side of things has been tough for him I think in difficult covid conditions normality out the window no matter tho I loved watching him play a genius fabulous only wish Forest had been a better team and we could have had him for a while lol great to see him fit and well

All these ex football players need to stop becoming the managers of these big clubs so soon after retirement

I could listen to this man all day, what a guy

Everytime I see this interview, I just get sad that Henry was hired at MTL just before the pandemic, because I simply cannot stop thinking what he could have done in a better situation. The year he was there, he revolutionized that team and finally made them a modern team that can adapt and get player that want to see the team grow, not just player that use the team as a stepping stone to bigger things.

coolest man that's ever lived

What a brilliant mind Henry is

Respect. Great player yes, but I also heard a man who wants to learn and improve. He recognises the difference in roles which he didn’t as a player. I liked the cut of his gib and hope he gets another opportunity.

Henry is welcome back to the states as a coach anytime

Fascinating, I could listen him talk about football all day.

What I'm finding interesting is, he mentions how he has to talk to the new generation. He just described man management lol. A bunch of players always talks about how SAF would speak to everyone individually and in groups but cater to the personnel, and he'd find a way to get everyone on board (most of the time). Definitely a tricky skill to develop.

Henry was a legendary striker, but most great managers weren't strikers. GKs, defenders and DMs "see" the whole game, unlike the forwards

best premier lge player ever in my opinion, and its his opinion aswell!!

DNA of the team. Spot on

didn't realise he'd only managed 49 games

Ye really tried to paint a pretty picture with them stats of his time in the jobs hahahahha
