Thierry Henry has been appointed as 2nd assistant coach for Belgium to support the new Boss Roberto Martinez, the KBVB has announced. Henry was with Arsenal Under-18 as Manager and left the post in July after Arsene Wenger reportedly refused to sanction the former France international combining the role with his television commitments.
Roberto Martinez was appointed as Red Devils boss after Marc Wilmots was sacked following Belgium's disappointing Euro 2016 exit at the hands of Wales. Chris Van Puyvelde, the KBVB executive director, said: "Roberto MartÃnez's assistant coach will be Graeme Jones and Thierry Henry will be the second assistant coach."
Henry 39 said on tweeter: "Honoured to be assistant coach, very excited, can't wait"
