LONDON (Reuters) - Arsenal great Thierry Henry is ready for another shot at management after being dumped by Monaco in January and deserves to be in the Premier League, according to former team mate Robert Pires.
Henry lasted three months in the principality, the 42-year-old World Cup winner was dismissed in January after winning only four of his 20 games in charge and with the club threatened by relegation.
Pires said Henry, who started out playing for Monaco and went on to enjoy a stellar club career with Arsenal and Barcelona, had lost none of his hunger or ambition. The former midfielder said he had no plans at present to follow his former team mate into management. "I love Arsenal, I’m open to work with the first team, with Unai Emery maybe one day but for the moment it’s not in the Arsenal plans and I respect the decision."
"With Lille, he was fantastic. Last season he was one of the best players, he scored 21 or 22 goals," said Pires."He’s a great player.
