Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has spoken of taking the Belgium assistant coach's job.

Henry agreed earlier this season to be Roberto Martinez's No2 with Belgium.

He explained to Canal+: "At the moment the offer arrived, there was no choice. When you are a good player, you say 'I will go here rather than there', you choose. But when you aspire to become a coach, your phone must ring.

"My phone rang. There was no choice.

"Everybody knows that I am graduating, I am still in my third degree, it still takes a little time. I had an offer from Roberto Martinez, hard to refuse."
