Henry ‘extremely close’ to Monaco position

According to Sky Sports, talks are now at an extremely advanced stage for Thierry Henry to become the new manager of French club Monaco. This saga has been ongoing for a few days now, and in terms of the rumours linking Henry to a management position, it’s been going on a lot longer than that. Many fans are eager to see how the goalscoring legend fares in this kind of role, and now, it seems as if they’re not too far away from finding out the answer.

Both parties are believed to be fairly confident that a deal can be struck within the next 48 hours, which would be ideal given that the international break is currently ongoing and Henry would have some time to adapt to the role.

Either way, it’ll be interesting to see how this story develops, given that Thierry has been close to securing similar positions with both Bordeaux and Aston Villa before they fell through.
