Arsenal legend Thierry Henry lined up for shock return to management with European giants
THIERRY HENRY is set to join Paris Saint-Germain as assistant manager to Julian Nagelsmann, according to reports.
The duo are claimed to be in advanced talks with the French giants.
PSG are yet to part company with boss Christophe Galtier.
But following yesterday’s final day 3-2 home defeat to Clermont Foot, the French champions are expected to make a change.
According to L’Equipe, talks with Nagelsmann have reached an “advanced stage”.
The German is expected to bring Henry with him, despite having never worked with the former Arsenal forward before.
Henry, 45, has not coached since departing as Belgium’s assistant boss following the World Cup.
He has been working as a Ligue 1 pundit on French TV, as well as providing Champions League analysis on CBS Sports.
The former France international began his coaching career as Roberto Martinez’s No2 with Belgium between 2016 and 2018.
He then took over as Monaco manager, but endured a disastrous stint at Stade Louis II.

He subsequently took charge of Montreal Impact in MLS, but stepped down following nine wins in 29 matches in charge,
The Gunners hero returned as Martinez’s No2 with Belgium, but did not follow the former Wigan boss after he landed the Portugal job.
Nagelsmann, meanwhile, was linked with the Chelsea and Tottenham jobs earlier this summer, following his Bayern Munich sacking.
But following initial talks, both London clubs distanced themselves from the 35-year-old.
