The World Cup winning coach and Robert Pires backed their former team-mate to impress following his appointment as Monaco boss

Thierry Henry has everything it takes to succeed at Monaco, according to France head coach and former team-mate Didier Deschamps.

Ligue 1 club Monaco announced on Saturday that Henry would succeed Leonardo Jardim and take up his first head coaching role with the club where he started his professional playing career.

Deschamps, who won the 1998 World Cup alongside Henry, revealed he has spoken to the former Belgium assistant in recent days, but did not need to give him any words of wisdom.
