Arsenal directors are split over who should succeed manager Arsene Wenger.
The Sunday Mirror says while major shareholder Stan Kroenke, together with his influential son Josh, would like Gunners legend Thierry Henry to return the club in a new management set up, Alisher Usmanov wants Atletico Madrid's Diego Simeone.
The Kroenkes, along with chairman Sir Chips Keswick and chief executive officer Ivan Gazidis, hold sway on the big decisions and believe Simeone would be too big a risk due to the Argentinian's volatile temperament.
They have compiled their own short list which includes Juventus coach Max Allegri, Borussia Dortmund's Thomas Tuchel, Monaco's Leonardo Jardim and Henry who could bring Belgium and former Everton boss Roberto Martinez with him.
That would leave Usmanov frustrated once again in his ambitions for the club.
