I quit Sky Sports to focus on coaching career —Henry
By Esther Egbe
Thierry Henry has confirmed that he is stepping down from his punditry position with Sky Sports to pursue his ambition of becoming a football manager,National Daily gathered.
The Frenchman has worked with the broadcaster for four seasons and had previously committed to the £4 million-a-year position even when it came at the expense of a coaching role at Arsenal. You’ll remember that Arsene Wenger felt his former captain couldn’t have his cake and eat it while on the books at London Colney.
The 40-year-old says he’s eager to pursue a career in the dugout.“I would like to thank everyone at Sky for making me feel so welcome and at ease throughout my time with them and I wish them all the best for the future. Great memories.”
In a series of tweets, Henry wrote: “Over the last four years I have had some extremely rewarding coaching experiences in football, also these experiences have only made me more determined to fulfil my long term ambition to become a football manager.
“It is with sadness that I have decided that I must leave Sky Sports to enable me to spend more time on the pitch and concentrate on my journey to achieving that goal and lookout for a more senior position having cut his teeth at international level.
