Monaco & Aston Villa target Henry backed to become a manager by Meunier

Belgium full-back Thomas Meunier believes it is time for Thierry Henry to make the transition into management.

Henry had held talks with Aston Villa with a view to becoming the manager with his long-time playing rival John Terry coming in as his assistant following Steve Bruce’s sacking.

However, that interest has now cooled amid reports that Monaco would be his preferred destination if Leonardo Jardim is to depart after Henry’s former club’s poor start to the season.
