Thierry Henry Reportedly Turns Down Chance to Become Bordeaux Manager

Former France and Arsenal striker Thierry Henry has reportedly turned down the chance to manage Ligue 1 side Bordeaux.

According to Sky Sports News, Henry told the club on Monday that he didn't want the job, having asked for the weekend to consider the post.

"According to Sky sources, Henry had concerns over the availability of funds and a lack of clarity over the ownership of the Ligue 1 club—which is presently in takeover negotiations with Miami-based investment fund General American Capital Partners," it's added.

Former Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri is now said to be Bordeaux's top target to fill the position following the suspension of Gus Poyet.
