Thierry Henry "very excited" to begin role as Belgium assistant manager

Thierry Henry has said that he "can't wait" to begin his new role as one of Belgium's assistant managers.

The Arsenal legend, who quit playing professionally in 2014, will work alongside head coach Roberto Martinez, who was appointed as Marc Wilmots's successor earlier this month.

After the news was announced, Henry tweeted: "Honoured to be assistant coach @BelRedDevils. Thanks to Roberto Martinez & the Royal Belgian Football Association. Very excited. Can't wait."

Henry will continue working as a pundit for Sky Sports.
