The Gunners legendary striker left his coach role at the club last week.
Quoted by the Mirror, Thierry Henry has told the Sun that he still harbours ambitions of managing Arsenal in future.
The striker made a second departure from the club earlier this week as he left his role working within the youth set up.
The Gunners legend had been working with his old side as he looks to earn his UEFA A license. He had impressed too, with them going as far as to offer him the role of assistant manager with the under-18s.
However, Arsene Wenger had reportedly demanded that he give up his role as a pundit with Sky Sports as he felt it was a conflict of interests.
Henry decided against that and elected to continue working elsewhere, but he has admitted he would like to manage Arsenal in future.
“I’d be lying if I told you being manager wasn’t a wish that I have because I love Arsenal,” the Mirror quotes him saying.
“The game is my passion and always will be. I would like to manage — but I am far from it. I would still like to pass my UEFA Pro License, which I’m working on to give me a better all-round knowledge.”
It remains to be seen where Henry will end up as he looks to continue his coaching badges elsewhere.
He is not likely to be short on offers, especially given the positive impression he was reportedly making at Arsenal.
The Gunners will likely be keeping an eye on his progress and hoping they are not stung as they were by Patrick Vieira’s development at Manchester City.
