Wales are reportedly considering Arsenal legend Thierry Henry as a potential candidate for their vacant managerial post.

As noted by Sky Sports News, former boss Chris Coleman took training on Sunday at Sunderland ahead of official confirmation that he will be their next manager, leaving the Welsh position open.

According to Neil Moxley of the Sunday Mirror, the Welsh FA are eyeing an ambitious swoop for Henry, who is currently an assistant manager with Belgium and a pundit on Sky Sports.

According to the piece, the 40-year-old does have "ambitions to move into management in the long term," and Moxley noted Henry will "have to fight off competition from favourite Ryan Giggs and cult hero Craig Bellamy" for the role.
