Pires: Henry can take over from Wenger

Robert Pires sees no reason why Thierry Henry cannot succeed Arsene Wenger when he eventually steps down from the Arsenal job.

Thierry Henry could be the man to replace Arsene Wenger when he finally leaves his role as Arsenal manager, according to Robert Pires.

Wenger arrived at Arsenal in 1996 largely unheralded, but has gone on to forge himself a reputation as one of the great modern managers.

During his 19 years at the helm, the Frenchman has guided the club to nine major honors, including the Premier League title in 2003-04 when a team including Henry and Pires went the entire league season unbeaten.
