The French club's new owners walked away from talks after failing to agree terms with the former Gunners striker
Bordeaux have claimed they walked away from talks with Thierry Henry and that it was due to "financial reasons".
The Ligue 1 club are about to be bought out by the US investment fund GACP and had hoped to appoint Henry in place of out-going boss Gus Poyet.
Talks had reached an advanced stage but Bordeaux then announced in August that the deal was dead, with Brazilian coach Ricardo eventually appointed instead.
Henry served as assistant to Belgium head coach Roberto Martinez during this summer’s World Cup, and the role at Nuveaux Stade de Bordeaux had looked to be his first job as a number one.
