Welsh FA accused of bias after Henry completes A license

The FA has attracted criticism from Wales-based Scottish coach Will Foley after Thierry Henry completed his UEFA A license.

Thierry Henry's recent completion of the UEFA A license has not pleased everyone, with the FA of Wales (FAW) being accused of bias in light of the Frenchman's success.

The Arsenal great completed his A license through the FAW earlier this month in less time than former Swansea and Cardiff City player Will Foley believes possible.

Foley said the FAW had a track record of pushing through "big names" quicker than other candidates, with the likes of Jens Lehmann, Marcel Desailly, Patrick Vieira, David Ginola and even Everton manager Roberto Martinez having completed their coaching badges under the guidance of FAW technical director Osian Roberts.
