Ray Parlour tips Thierry Henry for Arsenal manager's job

Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour tips former teammate Thierry Henry to one day become the Gunners' manager.

Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour believes that Thierry Henry will eventually become the club's manager.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger recently hinted that he was keen to add the legendary Frenchman to his coaching staff, and Parlour believes that Henry's ability to read the game and his connection with the supporters mark him out as an ideal candidate to one day become the boss at the Emirates.

Parlour told talkSPORT: "I think he will definitely get involved with Arsenal. I certainly believe, one day, if he really wants to be a manager, he will be manager of Arsenal.

"He was such an intelligent player. Arsene Wenger used to have a meeting on a Monday with the players after a game and Thierry would always have his say. He would make some great points, not just about forwards, but about defending and how we defend as a team.

"He always had that charisma to be a manager. And look at his name around the world. People would want to play for him and he would attract big players."

Henry is the club's all-time top scorer with 228 goals.
