Thierry Henry: Becoming Arsenal manager "would be a dream"

Thierry Henry has revealed that he would love to one day take over from Arsene Wenger and become manager of former club Arsenal.

The Gunners legend has been earmarked as a potential successor to his countryman, who has come under increasing pressure once more this week following a shock 3-1 home defeat against Monaco in the Champions League.

Henry is currently working as a pundit for Sky Sports, although pushed on whether he could move into management one day, Henry admitted that returning to the Emirates Stadium in a coaching position is certainly in his future plans.

"I don't know what Arsene wants to do and how long he wants to stay," Henry told ITV Sport. "But I just want to be equipped - to be in the position, maybe one day to be a manager.

"Being the manager of Arsenal FC would be a dream. I need to learn first. That is the most important thing. I could not say 'no' to Arsenal. So I would say 'yes'. It should be great."

Henry, who spent eight trophy-laden years in North London, retired from football last December following a stint with New York Red Bulls in Major League Soccer.
