Belgium manager tips assistant boss to succeed Wenger

Belgium manager Roberto Martinez believes that Thierry Henry would have the ability to replace the outgoing Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.

The Mail Online report that the former Arsenal striker has been linked with the job and has refused to rule himself out of the running for the position.

Henry has been working alongside Martinez with Belgium, and the former Everton and Swansea City manager believes the Frenchman has what it takes to cut it in management.

As quoted in the report from the Mail, he said:

Any role that he takes in football, he will make it succeed. He is very intelligent and he has that approachability. He connects with players.

Thierry identifies how he can use his own experiences with players and that is going to be a big strength in his coaching career.

Martinez and Henry will, of course, lead Belgium into the World Cup finals in Russia this summer, where their side are expected to go deep into the competition.

Arsene Wenger announced on Friday that his 22-year stay with the Gunners will come to an end this summer, which has led to a number of high profile names being linked with the job, including Carlo Ancelotti and Luis Enrique.
