There aren't too many footballers in the history of the sport with a more decorated career than Thierry Henry.

A World Cup and European Championship winner with France, the former striker won elite prizes at club level too, lifting domestic titles in England and Spain, the Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup.

But for all of his success as a player, Henry's move into coaching has been far from an easy transition.
