Henry accomplished just about everything in his playing career, including the 1998 World Cup and 2000 European Championships with France. In 600 career games at club level split between AS Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal, FC Barcelona and New York Red Bulls, the 45-year-old scored 260 goals and won five league titles, and one Champions League title with Barcelona in 2009.
Henry resigned from the job in early 2021 to return to his family in England. He is now in his second stint as assistant coach with the Belgium national team under Roberto Martinez.
