Thierry Henry will reportedly turn down the chance to become Bordeaux's next head coach due to concerns about a lack of transfer funds.

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger confirmed last week that the Gunners legend had shown an interest in managing Les Girondins, having recently stepped down from his role as a television pundit.

The 41-year-old was given the weekend to decide whether he wants to begin his managerial career in his homeland with the Ligue 1 side.

According to Sky Sports News, Henry also has doubts over the club's ownership as takeover negotiations with an American firm are currently ongoing.

Bordeaux suspended Gus Poyet earlier this month after he criticised the club's owners for selling striker Gaetan Laborde to rivals Montpellier without his permission.
