Thierry Henry explains difference between Wenger and Guardiola

Thierry Henry has two major managerial influences in his career.

Arsenal’s all-time top scorer believes Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola had a huge impact on his coaching career.

He enjoyed a decent short spell at Montreal but departed the club earlier in February.

“Whenever I see a coach, I always speak to them,” Henry told FourFourTwo.

“Obviously I speak to Pep, and I speak to Arsene whenever I can reach him.

“We speak, because when I was a player and he was a coach, I was chewing his ear out. Now as a coach I want to know things.

“Arsene triggered my brain – I needed that at the time. I needed to be more confident, to realise what type of player I was and what I could do.

“I started to ask myself the right questions. I always blamed others, but I began to blame myself first. I started to see how I could help others instead of saying to others, ‘Hey, you need to help me’.

“Pep was a master of tactics. He can see so much that sometimes it might be a problem for him, because he sees a lot and he wants to change things a lot!

“Tactically, he’s a freak. The stuff I learned from him was incredible.”
