Henry set for big job
FROM BACK PAGE assurances over future transfer funds, plans to take his former Gunners team-mate Gilles Grimaldi as his assistant.
Ex-Chelsea star Gus Poyet, the current Bordeaux boss, will be officially fired tomorrow after his public criticism of the board last week.
Henry, France’s record goalscorer, resigned from his pundit’s job at Sky Sports to seek a full-time role in coaching and flirted with Championship side Aston Villa in the summer.
But Belgium are also keen to retain his services and he could yet take the assistant’s role to Roberto Martinez after helping the Red Devils to third place at the World Cup.
By taking the Bordeaux job, Henry would offer another big boost to French domestic football after another Gunners legend, Patrick Vieira, pitched up at Nice earlier this summer.
