Arsenal's Coach Resigns.

Arsenal’s youth team coach has resigned from his role following a clash with first-team manager Arsène Wenger, reports claim.

Legendary former Gunners striker Thierry Henry has been coaching the Gunners Under-19 for almost two years now where he works four days a week, though it has been a stop-start foray for the 38-year-old as he continues to juggle football management with punditry.

However, it is understood Henry’s relationship with his countryman Wenger has hit an iceberg following a row between the pair and the former France international has reportedly quit his coaching role at the north London club.

The issue arose as Wenger reportedly became annoyed that Henry was criticising Arsenal players in his role on Sky Sports.

Among the points that he took issue with were Henry’s comments on Olivier Giroud, and how he suggested that the Gunners would struggle to win the Premier League title if the French international was their first-choice striker.

According to The Sun, Wenger gave Henry an ultimatum, insisting that he could only continue working with the club if he quit his television job.

Henry, who earns £4m-a-year as a Sky Sport pundit, was not willing to do that, and so it is claimed that he will quit the Gunners and may now look elsewhere to continue his coaching career.

In other news, it is believed Wenger, who has been at Arsenal for 20 years, might feel threatened by his former star who also has ambitions of taking the top job at the Emirates Stadium in future.

Regardless of how this goes down, one thing is certain, Henry is unlikely to quit Sky for Arsenal.
