Thierry Henry leaves Arsenal after 'ultimatum'

Thierry Henry leaves his coaching role with Arsenal over an alleged 'ultimatum' demanding that he give up his TV punditry work.

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has departed from his coaching role with the club after an alleged ultimatum forcing him to choose between the Gunners and his TV punditry work.

The Frenchman - Arsenal's all-time top scorer - had been working with the side's youth players as part of his UEFA A Licence course, and was offered the chance to coach the Under-18s by manager Arsene Wenger.

Wenger reportedly insisted that should Henry accept the role, he would have to relinquish his job commentating on games for Sky Sports, where he earns around £4m a year.

The 38-year-old refused the demand, however, and has now left the North London side.

Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams has instead been appointed Under-18s manager, while Freddie Ljungberg takes charge of the Under-16s.
