Thierry Henry glad to see Arsene Wenger stick with Arsenal

Thierry Henry in his Arsenal days

Thierry Henry has spoken of his relief that Arsene Wenger has opted to stay at Arsenal beyond this summer, though he believes that Wenger’s legacy at the club will never be fully recognised until he does eventually decide to call it a day.

Wenger signed a new three-year deal to remain with Arsenal until 2017 after delivering the FA Cup to them following a nine-year trophy doubt, with speculation growing that the French tactician would indeed call time on his career with the Gunners after 18 years in charge.

Henry arguably enjoyed the best form of his career under the guidance of Wenger and despite his gut feeling telling him that his former manager would remain with the club, he was relieved to hear the announcement of a new deal being agreed.

Henry told Sky Sports, “Knowing Arsene, I knew he was going to stay – especially after winning the FA Cup final.

“He loves the club so much that I think it is always going to be difficult for him to leave this club. He’s signed another three years and hopefully they can be successful.

“You only miss people when they are gone and then you will probably realise what he has done for the club.”
